hand bend on smaller (1/2 and 3/4" conduit), larger projects will have the trip nickle available.
 
Anyone still use Chicago benders?
I'll use it over bending rigid with a hand bender any day of the week. :D

I just didn't think of it because most projects I've been on that ran GRC didn't have one available (but not all).
 
Is it most common to use a hand bender or factory elbows? Thanks

Depends on where you're running the RGS, if in a poured deck then I would use a hickey. Exposed, a 555 or equivalent. And always few factory 90's for tight spots.
 
I did not know whenever it says "steel conduit" that was rgs.....isnt EMT made from steel
"Steel conduit" usually refers to RGS, but it can get confusing because EMT is often referred to as "conduit" also, and is often made from steel (although I've seen aluminum EMT too). I can only speak for myself, but when I see/hear "steel conduit" I always assume RGS unless I know for sure that we're really talking about EMT.

FWIW, the discussed premise includes [steel] IMC.
