Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hz supply service.A total of 360 degrees between openings, regardless of distance, is the NEC's limitation. From experience I know that any time you go beyond 270 degrees you are going to have a difficult pull regardless of what other steps you take.360 degrees = 4 - 90 degree bends270 degrees = 3 - 90 degree bendsAs always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.Before you do any work yourself,on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOBSAFELY AND COMPETENTLYREFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.

What are electrical sleeves used for?

In the electrical industry there are many different types of sleeves used. There are insulation sleeves, linesman's high voltage sleeves and conduit sleeves to name a few. The insulation sleeve is used for the protection of electrical conductors. Linesman's sleeves are used for extensions to the protective rubber gauntlets that they wear when working on high tension wiring systems. Conduit sleeves are used when a broken conduit needs to be repaired in situ.

How many degrees of bend is allowed in a conduit run between j-boxs?

The electrical code states that there will be no more that four quarter bends between junction boxes. Keep in mind when conduit bending that an offset of two 45 degree bends is classed as a 90 degree bend. Offsets between two junction boxes uses up two of the four 90 degree bends allowed. If in a conduit run, the limit of 90 degree bends is utilized, always pull in stranded wire to make the pull go easier.

How many equivalent ninety degree bends are allowed in araceway between outlet boxes?

You are allowed 4 - 90 degree bends between openings. This is 360 degrees. Regardless of the sizes of bends, the 360 degrees is the limitation. In actual practice, you want to avoid bends as much as possible. I can tell you from experience that having more than 270 degrees, that's 3 - 90 degree bends, is ill advised unless absolutely necessary.
