Remember, if you bend a tube too much, you can always rotate it 180 degrees in the bender and
straighten it back out with a series of very small bends in that area. To make these curved hoop
sections, you are using the conduit bender to FORM the tube, rather than bend the tube.
TIP
: It is fairly easy to straighten a tube that does not lay flat by inserting a tube in each end and
twisting it, much easier with a second person to help. By being careful to bend straight, the
twisting is avoidable.
Tip:
Once again, it is strongly recommended to practice these bends on some thinwall conduit, it
is very cheap and will save you money in the end.
