not and only get 50% to 99% correct, then proceed with the lesson.

Lesson

1 Types of Electrical Bender

Tube bending is any metal forming processes used to permanently

form pipes or tubing. Tube bending may be form-bound or use freeform-bending
procedures, and it may use heat supported or cold forming procedures.

2
 What’s In

Learn the different types of conduit bender. This is your chance to know the
different types of conduit bender and its purpose.

What’s New

Why is it very important to know the types of bender?

What is the purpose of using a conduit bender on the job?

What is It

TYPES OF CONDUIT BENDER

1. DUAL PIPE BENDER

The dual pipe bender has two differently sized

formers for the pipe to be bent around, which
enable the tool to bend pipe of two different sizes.

(It is used manually and can bend pipe to a range

of angles.)

2. MINI PIPE BENDER

The mini pipe bender only bends small

sized piping no larger than 10 mm (0.4") in
diameter.

(It works in the same way as a dual pipe

bender with two handles bending the pipe.)

3
3. ERGONOMIC PIPE BENDER

It has curved handle ends which are

ergonomically designed to make pipe
bending easier, as they require less
strength.

4. FREE-STANDING PIPE BENDER

The free-standing pipe bender is used to bend

longer or thicker piping which requires more force.

(It has a free-standing base and a long handle

which allows more pressure to be put on the pipe
without extra force from the user.)

5. RATCHET PIPE BENDER

The ratchet pipe bender has a ratchet handle which

slowly pushes upwards, pushing the pipe to bend
between two blocks.

6. HYDRAULIC PIPE BENDER

Hydraulic pipe benders are mechanisms that

use hydraulic pressure to bend various sizes of
metal pipe and electrical conduit to specific angles.

(They operate in a similar fashion

as hydraulic automotive jacks, with
a hydraulic piston that raises to exert high amounts
of pressure on the pipe between the bending dies.)

4
7. CONDUIT or HICKEY PIPE BENDER
It is designed specifically for conduit piping. It only has one handle and uses
the floor as extra leverage.

What’s In

How many type of conduit bender? Give at least one type of bender.

What’s New

Hoping that you enjoy with your work in the previous lesson. Now that you
already learn the types of conduit, you will learn next the type of conduit bender.

8
 What is It

This lesson will discuss the important part of a conduit bender. This will also
discuss the importance of the parts and its uses. This will discuss the proper
handling of a conduit bender.
PARTS OF A CONDUIT BENDER

1. Handle
The conduit pipe bender only has one handle. It can be used as a lever
handle
if the former is on the ground or as a stand if using the bender with the former
at
the top of the tool.

2. Former
The conduit bender has one former at the end of its handle. This former can
be controlled either by the handle or by the user's foot.
3. Fulcrum mark
The fulcrum mark is near the centre of the former and looks similar to a
star.
4. Foot press
The foot press on the conduit bender is at the head of the former.
5. Angle marking
The conduit pipe bender has 10°, 22°, 30°, 45° and 60° angle markings
readily
embossed onto the former.
6. Holding clamp
The conduit pipe bender has a holding clamp which the pipe slots into to
hold
it in place whilst it is being bent.
