iBend Pipe vs Electrical Design Residential

iBend Pipe — Bend It Right the 1st Time iBend Pipe is a professional conduit bending calculator designed to help electricians make accurate bends faster and reduce wasted material. Whether you're bending a simple offset or laying out a complex compound bend around an obstruction, iBend Pipe gives you the information you need to bend it right—the first time. CONDUIT BENDING CALCULATORS Calculate the following bends using English or Metric measurements: • Offsets — bend toward or away from an obstruction • Rolling Offsets — bend toward or away from an obstruction • Parallel Offset Adjustments • 3-Bend Saddles • 4-Bend Saddles • Segmented Bends • 90° Bends • Back-to-Back 90° Bends • Kicked 90° Bends • Compound 90° Bends around round obstructions • Compound 90° Bends around square obstructions • Compound 90° Bends around rectangular obstructions FAST, ONE-SCREEN CALCULATIONS Enter your measurements and see results update instantly. There’s no need to work through multiple screens just to get a measurement. iBend Pipe is designed to keep the calculation and results visible so you can work quickly and efficiently. Large, easy-to-read measurements make the app practical to use on the job. ACCURATE, PRACTICAL RESULTS iBend Pipe goes beyond basic bending multipliers. Centerline bending radius calculations are available for greater accuracy, and bends automatically account for shrink so you don't have to do the math yourself. Pre-position your bends, plan your layout, and get the information you need before you start bending. What's faster—bending it twice or bending it right the first time? PROTRACTOR INCLUDED Use the built-in protractor to measure your bend angle as you bend. The measured angle can be sent directly back to your calculation, helping you work faster without switching between tools. BENDER PROFILES iBend Pipe includes nearly 100 bender and conduit combinations. You can also customize or modify profiles to match the benders and conduit you use in the field. FRACTIONS, NOT JUST DECIMALS Enter measurements as fractions instead of converting everything to decimals. Get your results in practical measurements you can use on the job. BUILT FOR ELECTRICIANS iBend Pipe is for the electrician who takes pride in their work. If you're the person other electricians come to when they have a difficult bend, this app is for you. If you want less wasted conduit in the bone pile, this app is for you. If you can write your name in conduit, this app is definitely for you. From a first-year apprentice to a seasoned journeyman, iBend Pipe is designed to save time, reduce wasted material, and make difficult conduit bends easier to plan. Bend it right. The first time.

This app is a complete residential electrical design toolkit for electricians, electrical contractors, engineers, and homeowners — built around NEC 2023 Article 220 (Standard Method). Version 2.0 brings three entirely new tools alongside the proven load calculator: a Dashboard home screen with a Quick Service Estimator, a full Wire Sizing Reference table, and a searchable NEC Code Reference Library covering 10 key articles. FOUR-STEP NEC LOAD CALCULATOR This app walks you through the full NEC Article 220 Standard Method calculation: Step 1 – House Information: enter living area, floors, garage, and basement Step 2 – Room Configuration: set up bedrooms, kitchens, bathrooms, laundry, and more Step 3 – Appliances & Loads: add HVAC, range, dryer, EV charger, water heater, and any custom load Step 4 – Results: view service size, demand load, panel layout, circuit list, conductor sizing, and full load worksheet Calculations cover general lighting (3 VA/sq ft), small-appliance circuits, laundry circuits, demand factors (NEC 220.42), range demand (Table 220.55), dryer load (NEC 220.54), non-coincident HVAC loads (NEC 220.60), and fixed-appliance demand factors (NEC 220.53). Export a detailed PDF report directly from the results screen. DASHBOARD (NEW IN V2.0) This app now opens to a Dashboard home screen that is immediately useful without running a calculation. It includes a Quick Service Estimator — enter square footage and instantly see a rough service size — plus a rotating NEC tip card covering Articles 210 through 430, and a quick-reference list of the eight most common residential branch circuits with wire gauge and voltage. WIRE SIZING REFERENCE (NEW IN V2.0) A dedicated Wire Ref tab gives instant access to NEC Table 310.16 ampacity values for every gauge from 14 AWG through 500 kcmil, in both copper and aluminum, across all three temperature ratings (60°C, 75°C, 90°C). Also includes NEC Table 310.15(B)(1) temperature correction factors, conductor bundling derating from Table 310.15(C)(1), and minimum conduit sizing guidance from NEC Annex C. Fully searchable by gauge or application. NEC CODE REFERENCE LIBRARY (NEW IN V2.0) A searchable, expandable library of 10 essential NEC articles for residential work: Articles 210, 220, 225, 230, 240, 250, 310, 314, 334, and 430. Each entry includes a plain-language summary and expandable key requirements pulled directly from the NEC. Filter by category or search across all articles and sections at once. PANEL LAYOUT & CONDUCTOR SIZING This app generates a complete branch circuit schedule, visual panel layout with breaker slot assignments, service entrance conductor sizing (copper and aluminum), neutral conductor sizing, grounding electrode conductor sizing per Table 250.66, and conduit size recommendations. For informational and educational purposes. Always verify designs with a licensed electrician and the authority having jurisdiction (AHJ).
