Greenlee 777 EMT Question

[kyleapec]

I have read through the manual and can't seem to find a straight answer. On the 777 are the 2 1/2" to 4" shoes only for rigid or can you bend emt with them as well?

This is from Greenlee:

Description
The 777 Conduit Bender is intended to bend rigid
conduit and Schedule 40 pipe when used with standard
bending shoes. It is intended to bend Schedule 80 pipe
through XX pipe when used with ductile iron bending
shoes.
The bender can accomplish a 90° bend in one shot
when using 1-1/2" - 2" shoes. Segment bending is
required when using 2-1/2" - 4" shoes.
The bender is to be coupled to any Greenlee hydraulic
pump capable of developing 10,000 psi. Suggested
pumps are models 755, 975, 976-22PS, 980, and 960
SAPS.

Yes so I guess my confusion is with "ductile Iron Bending", I was hoping maybe an old timer would just be able to tell me yes or no. In my manual which is where you pulled that quote, it lists the smaller segment shoes for 2 1/2" to 4" as Exhibit "L" but then when I go to page 14 Parts list. It identifies Part "L" as an "Aluminum Segment Bending Shoe" So I would assume that a ductile iron shoe is a extra part you can get, maybe I am just looking to closely at this.

No.

Emt needs the follower bar to support the pipe keeping it from kinking.

No, you can not bend EMT with the 777.
