Are they bends? All bends are included in the 360? of bends. See the xxx.26 section of the raceway articles.Are box offsets included on the 360 degree run for conduits. what code article.
There are no exceptions for box offsets or other small bends. It is the total degrees of bends between pull points.There shall not be more than the equivalent of four quarter bends (360 degrees total) between pull points, for example, conduit bodies and boxes.

Imo an offset if made by using the 2 45 degree rule is equivalent to a 90 degree bend.
LarryFine said:Be careful here. Some inspectors count any offset as a pair of 45's, which eats up one allowable 90.

Jim W in Tampa said:.Often we are forced into puting in a 4 square just because we will be over our 360.
I'm not buying that explanationJim W in Tampa said:Many of the runs we are doing in a parking garage simply cant be made in 360 but are short ....

At least 3 I can think of off the top of my headJim W in Tampa said:Have you ever wired a parking garage ? It can take 80 feet of pipe and 10 bends sometimes to get from one box to the next.
You don't have to put a box, a condulet body will suffice....or you can start a letter writing campaign to the CMPJim W in Tampa said:Really upsets me when i gotta put in a box just to solve the 360 rule when i know i can push the wire thru.
