Conduit bend question

[highspeedphysics 0]

Does anyone know if a hand bender for 1 1/2" conduit is available for purchase somewhere in California?

 

Does anyone how many siamese wires will fit into a 1" conduit?

My Greenlee master catalog shows EMT hand benders up to 1 1/4". And Rigid hand benders up to 1"

 

I would like to see a guy bend 1" rigid with a hand bender. It can't be easy... I don't think 1 1/4" EMT would be much fun either.

 

Fill capacity for EMT is 40% (basically) That is 6 or 7 CAT5's depending on cable diameter. So roughly 3 siamese cables depending on the cable diameter. But I'm thinking it might only be 2 siamese cables if you do the math.

I've been lucky then. I was able to fill the 3/4" with 4 siamese and 1 cat5. although that took a lot of time to pull wire.

Ok, re reading your post you did ask how many will fit.

 

How many will fit and how many are allowed by code are two different questions.

I would not fill the conduit of any size to capacity because some day you may have to repull the cable, (or add one that may not have been planned on).
