Conduit Bends Between Pull Points

What is the acceptable combination of conduit bends between pull points?

a) Three 90° bends

b) One 90° bend followed by two 45° bends

c) Two 90° bends followed by a 30° bend

d) Four 45° bends

Answer:

All the given options (a, b, c, and d) are acceptable combinations of conduit bends between pull points, as none of them exceed the total allowed limit of 360°.

Between pull points in conduit systems, the combination of bends must not exceed 360° to ensure that cables can be pulled through without excessive difficulty. The acceptable combinations of conduit bends between pull points include:

  • Three 90° bends (270° total)
  • One 90° bend followed by two 45° bends (180° total)
  • Two 90° bends followed by a 30° bend (210° total)
  • Four 45° bends (180° total)

Each of these options is acceptable because none exceeds the 360° total limit. Therefore, the answer to the question is that all options (a, b, c, and d) represent an acceptable combination of conduit bends between pull points.
