NEC allows four quarter bends between junction boxes and conduit bodies for a total of 360 degrees. You can have more than four bends, but all of the degrees of the bends can not add up to more than 360 degrees.
In a conduit run, two ninety-degree bends would typically require the use of a pull box to facilitate pulling wires through the bends, as this creates a significant restriction. The four forty-five degree bends, however, generally allow for easier wire pulling and may not necessitate a pull box, depending on the overall length and type of wire. Therefore, the combination of two ninety-degree bends specifically necessitates a pull box.
The electrical code states that there will be no more that 4 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.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.
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.
Per national electrical code you are only allowed 360 degrees which is 4, 90 degree bends before having to use a pull box or termination.
It is recommended to limit the number of 90-degree bends to 360 degrees in one run from Box A to Box B to prevent excessive resistance and impact on cable performance. This means you can have up to four 90-degree bends in a single run.
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.

Yes. You have to have a pull box every 4 90s or every 100ft. Which ever comes first.
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.

The National Electrical Code (NEC) allows for a maximum of four quarter bends (or equivalent bends) in a conduit run before a junction box. This is to ensure that wires can be pulled through easily without excessive strain. It's important to plan conduit runs carefully to comply with these guidelines for safe and effective electrical installations. Always check local codes and regulations, as they may have specific requirements.
Bends are made in PVC conduit using a tool known as a heat gun or a heat blanket. If you want to make make accurate and aesthetically pleasing bends without distorting the pipe, the PVC conduit must be heated thoroughly - inside and out. This is achieved using a "heater box," or a "heater blanket." Greenlee tools makes both, specifically for working with PVC conduit. Also available are plugs for plugging the ends of the PVC lengths to be bent, for keeping heat trapped inside the pipe and speeding up the heating process.
When exist a junction box EMT, conduit must be supported within 18 inches.
