When using a 1-inch EMT bender, you typically subtract 2 inches from the total length of the conduit for each bend. This accounts for the radius of the bend, which is usually 3 inches for a 1-inch EMT bender. Therefore, if you are planning to make a bend, measure the distance you want to bend from the end of the conduit and subtract 2 inches to ensure the proper length.
To determine how many 1250 kcmil (thousand circular mils) conductors fit in a 4-inch EMT (Electrical Metallic Tubing), we first need to find the allowable fill capacity based on the National Electrical Code (NEC). A 4-inch EMT can typically accommodate up to 100% fill of 1,000 kcmil conductors, which is about 14.5 cubic inches per conductor. Since 1250 kcmil conductors have a larger size, typically, only one 1250 kcmil conductor can fit in a 4-inch EMT due to fill and bending space limitations.
In a three-quarter inch EMT conduit, you can typically fit up to 9 number 10 THHN wires, according to the NEC (National Electrical Code) guidelines. However, this number can vary depending on factors such as the type of insulation and installation conditions. It's always best to consult the NEC tables or a qualified electrician for precise calculations tailored to your specific application.
In a three-quarter inch EMT (Electrical Metallic Tubing), the maximum number of 12 AWG THHN conductors allowed is typically 10, according to the National Electrical Code (NEC) guidelines for conduit fill. However, this number can vary based on factors such as the specific application, bundling, and ambient temperature. It’s always important to consult the current NEC code and local regulations for accurate requirements.
All conduit shall not have more than 360 degrees for it's length between either a box, cabinet, or conduit body. Couplings count as a continuation of conduit.
Does anyone else think EMT stands for Epic Meal Time? Oh, and I'm guessing 9.

To bend 1-inch steel conduit, you would typically use a hydraulic or manual conduit bender specifically designed for EMT (Electrical Metallic Tubing) or rigid conduit. A popular choice is a 1-inch EMT conduit bender, which features a 30-degree bend mark and a sturdy frame for leverage. Hydraulic benders are often preferred for larger jobs due to their ease of use and ability to create precise bends without damaging the conduit. Always ensure the bender is compatible with the type of conduit you are working with.
To bend EMT conduit effectively and accurately, use a conduit bender tool and follow the markings on the tool for the desired angle. Secure the conduit in the bender and apply gradual pressure to create the bend. Measure and check the angle as you bend to ensure accuracy.
Basic math is needed, if you can add or subtract, you should be ok.
