32 conduit bend

is a curved fitting used to change the direction of a conduit run. These bends are essential in electrical wiring installations to navigate around obstacles, make turns, or follow specific routes.

Here’s what you need to know about conduit bends:

1. Types: Conduit bends come in various types to accommodate different conduit materials (such as metal or PVC), sizes, and bend angles. Common types include:
   • Sweep Bends: These bends have a gentle curve and are often used for gradual turns in conduit runs. They provide a smooth transition without sharp angles, reducing the risk of cable damage.
   • Offset Bends: Offset bends allow for changes in the vertical or horizontal direction of the conduit run while maintaining alignment. They are often used to bypass obstacles or accommodate building features.
   • 90-Degree Bends: These bends create a right-angle turn in the conduit run. They are commonly used for corners or junctions in electrical wiring installations.
   • 45-Degree Bends: These bends create a less severe angle than 90-degree bends and are often used when a gentler turn is required.
