Workmanship in conduit runs?

[peter]

The 90* bend is ninety degrees. The two 30* bends are only sixty degrees. 90 - 60 = 30. Two thirds the pulling effort.

That's incorrectly assuming that only bends create friction.

This is why we have Divison 16 specs!

Things happen, equipment gets moved. Nobody pipes something in like that intentionally but if it happens, offset it and move on. IMO there are a lot worse things to stress over than a simple misbend.

It's not really a big deal, but it's ugly. I try to avoid installing conduit in this fashion.

It does violate art. 300.18(A) Although that has nothing to do with the angle of the conduit.
