Enter Offset

Bend Radius is the centerline radius, it will be marked on the bending shoe or in a chart with the bender

Start Bend is where the first bend will start, measured from a conduit, box, or fitting

Enter Any Two variables of the right triangle where the offset needs to fit.

Bend Aid will find the smallest Bend Angle that will fit in that Length.

Answers Offset

• Conduit Length is the total length of the conduit of the finished offset, the start bend, the conduit if the offset, and the  tail, if you know the length to the next box or fitting you can add it to the Conduit Length and cut and thread before you bend.
• Offset Length is the length of the finished offset in a straight line
• Start To Start lay out where the bends will start, use the travel to layout where the bends will finish. Concentric bend centers will change because the travel changes with each bend radius
• Shoe Marks may be placed on either side of any bend depending on if they will fit in the bender. The center of the bends are where to mark bends for push through type benders
• Tail is similar to shrink because Bend Aid finds the smallest WHOLE angle that will fit in the Length and it tells you how far the end of the offset will be from the second support or obstruction
