BENDING

We offer a complete line of standard, special and large radius elbows, ready for quick shipment. When field bending is necessary, there are a variety of bending tools from which to choose. Perma-Cote can be bent with conventional types of bending equipment.

To accommodate the PVC coating when using a hand bender: always select the next larger size shoe.

Use a Perma-Cote Hickey to reduce the possibility of damage to the conduit coating when making sharp bends, saddles or offsets.

For optimum results use equipment specially designed for bending PVC coated conduit. When bending Perma-Cote with powered equipment, use rubbing alcohol to clean the inside of the shoe and the area of the conduit to be bent.

Never use a lubricant on the shoe or conduit. Lubricants tend to allow the conduit to slip above the center-line of the shoe, resulting in flattening of the elbow.

Major manufacturers of bending equipment offer bending shoes for coated conduit that can be ordered for existing equipment. Acceptable results can be obtained by machining out existing shoes. Use shoes the same size as the conduit to be bent and remove approximately 6/100ths of an inch from the inside of the shoe.

To accommodate the PVC coating when using a hand bender, always use the next larger size shoe. Use a PERMA-COTE coated Hickey to reduce the possibility of damage to the conduit coating.
