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 bends

270 degrees = 3 - 90 degree bends

As 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.

The electrical code allows four 90 degree bend in any one run between pull boxes. Keep in mind that an offset is considered one 90 degree bend as it consists of two 45 degree bends.

Offsets can easily be made with less than 90° between 2 bends. IE 2 30° would only be 60° 2 22° would only be 44°.
