Code states no more that 4 - 90 degree bends in a conduit run between pull boxes.
There has to be a pull box between every four quarter bends in a conduit run.

Conduit bodies are used to provide pulling access in a run of conduit, to conserve space where a full size bend radius would be impractical, to allow more bends to be made in a section of conduit or to split a conduit path into multiple directions.
4 quarter bend
Code states no more that 4 - 90 degree bends in a conduit run between pull boxes.
There has to be a pull box between every four quarter bends in a conduit run.
its 180 degrees If you use the above answer the conduit will flatten and close off. The maximum degrees for a single bend in conduit is 90 degrees. Also code only allows four 90 degree bends in a conduit run between pull boxes.
You should use conduit bends when you want to bend a pipe to any angle, either 90 or 30 degree angles. To achieve this, you need to master the maths formulas for bending conduit.
A pull box is a junction box that is placed in long conduit runs to make the pulling in of the wires easier. The code only allows 4 one quarter bends between pull boxes. If the conduit run incorporates more that 4 bends then a pull box has to be inserted into the run. The code allows up to the "equivalent" of four quarter bends or 360 degrees total before pull box is required.
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.
The electrical code states that there shall be no more than four 90 degree bends in a conduit length between pull boxes. This equals 360 degrees. The first scenario 90 + 90 + 45 + 45 + 45 + 45 = 360 degrees so that conduit run is acceptable. The second scenario 90 + 90 + 30 + 30 + 30 + 30 +30 = 330 degrees so this combination is also acceptable.

Offsets between two junction boxes uses up two of the four 90 degree bends allowed.In a conduit run between J boxes the number of bends can not exceed 360 degrees.The electrical code allows four 90 degree bends between pull boxes.
A goose neck pipe can not be bought. It is just a straight piece of electrical conduit when it starts. It is an electrician with a conduit bender or a hickey that bends the conduit into a goose neck configuration.
