name for this bend, and how to do it, where discussed on this Forum or anywhere online, please (bend allows conduit to go over the ink pen , in other words allows conduit to go over another conduit run parallel alongside first condit)? picture attached.Thanks.

I dub thee Double Kicked Ninety.

For me it would be a "do over".

How would one calculate the math? Say you needed a 3inch kick, would you just kick it 3” than do the same on the other side ?

PVC? Easy

With the two kicks chances are unless the kicks are huge one kick will hit the pen. Two offsets would be better, one up the other back down. I might have a photo somewhere.

How to bend it would depend on the size you're working with. ½ - 1" EMT, I'd just eyeball it. Maybe need two tries at it. Anything larger, or rigid, I'd revert to Plan B.

I agree. Basically, you'd take a 90 degree bend and raise it up to a higher parallel plane so that it clears the other conduit by using an offset on each side of the 90 bend.

I'd eyeball it. Keep in mind the kicks would not be square to the 90

Have to roll the bender a bit to the outside

That would make sure you stay square to the 90

 

[LarryFine]

What size is the pen and what size and type is the UTP cable?

 

[lauraj]

I would do a kick on one side to raise it up, and an offset on the other side to lower it down.

Are there rules for boring or notching pens?

 

[ToolHound]

Thanks. The pen and the UTP wire are used just to represent conduit, and are both 3/4 inch EMT in the actual situation.

Looks like a 90 with two kicks should do it. It might take a couple tries. I think it looks tougher than it is.

 

[Russs57]

It does remind of a bend that is used when you are making a 90 degree turn and transitioning from pipe vertically stacked on top of each other to pipe run horizontally next to each other.

I'm not an electrician and I find there is always a regional jargon. We called it a fan. Or you could do something like the attachment.

I would say it's a 90 with a kick with a Rollin offset on the leg of the 90.

I agree. Your second kick would roll the first one.

On the funny side, it looks like your new apprentices first attempt at bending a 3 point saddle.

I have done similar when going over an obstruction at the bend. Mark 6 or 12 inches from corner, do 15 degrees each way, Then bend offset at short end. Adjust measurement as needed.
