2. Enumerate and apply the PEC requirements concerning rigid conduit
preparation (bending) for installation.
3. Preparing and cutting pipes.
4. Bend rigid conduit to the following forms.

1. Rigid metal conduit

2. Electrical metal tubing (EMT) or thin wall metal conduit
3. Non-metallic conduit/PVC pipe (Polyvinyl chloride)
Rigid Metal Conduit
 They are commonly used in;
- Wiring building to minimize if not totally prevent fires due

to electricity.
- Wiring that must be buried in concrete, masonry or similar
materials.
- Exposed or open wiring where maximum protection from
mechanical damage is necessary.
 They are normally galvanized or zinc coated to prevent

corrosion, when exposed to weather, imbedded in concrete,
installed in wet locations.

Date Revised:

 The standard length is 3.048 meters (10 ft.) including a
coupling. Its usual diameter is 12.7 – 152.4 mm (“1/2 to 6”).
The radius of the curve of the inner edge or the field bend shall not be less
than what is specified in table I. A run of conduit between an outlet and a fitting
shall not contain more than the equivalent of 4 quarter bends (360°, total
including those bends located immediately at the outlet or fitting).

Types of corrosion-resistant Rigid conduit
1. Aluminum
2. Silicon bronze alloy
3. Plastic coated
The rigid metal conduit wiring, the electrician cuts, bends, threads and
reamed conduits before installing them. Cutting rigid conduit is done with a
hacksaw or a pipe cutter.
Sharp edges or burrs at the ends could seriously damage the insulation of
the wire as it is pulled into the conduit. These burrs have to be removed by a
reamer or by a file as per PEC requirements.
Bending conduit is done to produce a desired bend angle on conduit for
installation.
This is done with a hickey or conduit bender. Bends on rigid conduit pipes
should be made so that the pipes are not injured nor the effective internal
diameter reduced.
The illustration in figure 1. show a run of conduit which contains more than
two quarter bends which is against the PEC requirements.
Figure I. Violation of PEC Requirements on

Run of conduit with 4 quarter bends

Date Revised:

The fewer the bends, the easier it is to fish-in or pull wires into metal
conduits.
One of the practical ways of determining the radius of a field bend is to
multiply by 5. Diameter which is less than 1” should consider as 1” in determining
the radius of bend. See the illustration below.
Example:
Size of conduit = ½ diameter
Radius = Diameter x 5
= 1x5
= 5”
The illustrations in figure 2. Show how to figure 90 ˚or right angle in

electrical metal tubing.

Date Revised:

Bend on Electrical Metallic Tubing
Suppose the right angle bend is to be made and that the conduit is to have
a rise of 18” above the floor. Assuming that the conduit is ½ in diameter, subtract
5” from the rise of 18” that leaves 13”. Hook the bender over the rigid metal
conduit so that the arrow on the bender points to a point 13 inches from the end
of the metal conduit as shown in figure 2. If the size of the conduit is ¾, subtract
6”. If the size is 1”, subtract 8” from the desired measurements.
The different bends that are common in a conduit installation are that the
following:
1. Right- angle bend

2. Off-set bend
3. Cross-over or saddle bend
4. Gooseneck bend

In bending a metal conduit, a pipe bender or hickey is commonly used by
electricians.

of hickey, like the one illustrated below.

conduit.
2. Regularly clean the pull-push tape.
3. For adjustable stock and die, thread little by little in
about 3 adjustments.
II. Tasks (steps) & Key points
Cutting conduits using hacksaw
When cutting any conduit with a hacksaw, use a blade with 18 to 32 teeth
per inch. A blade with fewer teeth hangs up, binds, or even breaks (Figure 5.
below). Put the blade in the hacksaw frame (with the teeth pointing forward) so
that the teeth cut when you push the saw forward. Place the pipe in the vise so
that there is ample room between the vise and the cut.

Date Revised:
LNNAIS
Figure 5.
1. Preparing and cutting pipes for installation:
1.1 A hacksaw is the most

important cutting tool for
sawing metal to size.
1.2 There are many different types of

hacksaws, but in general they
consist of a fixed or adjustable
frame with a renewable hacksaw
blade.

Date Revised:
LNNAIS
1.3 The hacksaws illustrated show
one with a straight handle and
one with a pistol grip handle.
1.4 Hacksaw blades are classified

by length and the number of
teeth per 25 mm cutting edge.
1.5 For cutting conduit pipe,

blades with a pitch of 24 teeth
or 32 teeth per 25 mm of the
cutting edge are
recommended.
1.6 Pipes to be cut must be held steady and

prevented from rotating by holding them in
a suitable vise. This is a self-locking,
hinged pipe vise and is available in a
number of sizes.
1.7 The portable folding pipe vise is very practical

as a mobile workplace and is used especially
on building sites.

1.8 Chain pipe vises are made to hold pipes
with an outside diameter of up to 8" or
200 mm. They are mounted on solid
benches.
1.9 Open the vise and insert the pipe so it is

horizontal and parallel to the jaw
serrations.
1.10 Keep the part which is to be cut as

close to the jaws as possible in order
to stop vibrations.
1.11 Before you cut any conduit pipes,

make sure you have measured and
marked the correct length exactly.

Date Revised:
LNNAIS 29
1.12 Check that the blade is lightly
tightened in the frame and that the
teeth point forward.
1.13 Take up the hacksaw and position

yourself as shown here, with yourself
shoulder pointing in the direction you
intend to cut. Note the position of the
feet, which allows free and controlled
movement of the body when cutting.
1.14 Before finishing the cutting operation, the pipe

must be supported with the left hand.
1.15 This will prevent the blade of the

hacksaw being damaged.

2. Bending 90-degrees angle on metal rigid conduit
2.1 Lay the conduit on the ground and slip the hickey on the conduit
where the first bend is to be made. See figure 5.
- If it is necessary, thread the ends of the conduit before bending.
Figure 5. Making the first bend
2.2 Step on rigid conduit and bend it at 20 to 30 degrees at a time.
