Question

if the diameter of the pipe obstruction is 2\, then making a 3 - point saddle bend will cause the length of the conduit to shrink by ______. a. 3/8\ b. 3/4\ c. 2/5\ d. 2/3\

Explanation:

In conduit bending, for a 3 - point saddle bend with a 2 - inch pipe obstruction, the shrinkage length is a standard value. The formula or standard practice gives that the shrinkage is 3/4". We compare this with the options: option A is 3/8", too small; option C is 2/5" and option D is 2/3", which do not match the standard for this situation. Option B (3/4") is the correct value based on conduit bending standards.

Answer:

B. 3/4"
