Another 3 bend saddle issue??

[sundowner]

Hi Guys

BS'in in the shop the other day...I can't seem to remember how the heck to bend a 3 bend saddle with the bender never leaving the pipe (shoe going the same direction the entire time) - I remember one of the old timers teaching me a multiplier of 4 between marks... I also want to use 15 degree bends - 15- 30 - 15 degrees.

Any help would be great - any body remember the way to do this with all three marks on the bender - I'm using a Greelee hand bender - 3/4 EMT. Not very expensive to do the 'ol trial and error method - but I'd like a head start!

Thanks guys!!

we did 22 degrees, 45 degrees, 22 degrees. I haven't bent pipe in a long time but I seem to remember it that way.
