What is the maximum number of 90 degree bends which should be used in a run of conduit between points where the wire can be pulled?

Per national electrical code you are only allowed 360 degrees which is 4, 90 degree bends before having to use a pull box or termination.


How many degrees of bend is allowed in a conduit between boxes?

The electrical code states that there will be no more that 4 quarter bends between junction boxes. Keep in mind when conduit bending that an offset of two 45 degree bends is classed as a 90 degree bend. Offsets between two junction boxes uses up two of the four 90 degree bends allowed.In a conduit run between J boxes the number of bends can not exceed 360 degrees.The electrical code allows four 90 degree bends between pull boxes.


What is a electrical pull box?

A pull box is a junction box that is placed in long conduit runs to make the pulling in of the wires easier. The code only allows 4 one quarter bends between pull boxes. If the conduit run incorporates more that 4 bends then a pull box has to be inserted into the run. The code allows up to the "equivalent" of four quarter bends or 360 degrees total before pull box is required.


How many 90 degree bends can you have in one run of conduit from box A to box B?

NEC allows four quarter bends between junction boxes and conduit bodies for a total of 360 degrees. You can have more than four bends, but all of the degrees of the bends can not add up to more than 360 degrees.


Which one of the following combinations of bend in a conduit run require the use of a pull box two 90-degree bends and four 45-degree bends two 90-degree bends and five 30-degree bends?

The electrical code states that there shall be no more than four 90 degree bends in a conduit length between pull boxes. This equals 360 degrees. The first scenario 90 + 90 + 45 + 45 + 45 + 45 = 360 degrees so that conduit run is acceptable. The second scenario 90 + 90 + 30 + 30 + 30 + 30 +30 = 330 degrees so this combination is also acceptable.

All conduit shall not have more than 360 degrees for it's length between either a box, cabinet, or conduit body. Couplings count as a continuation of conduit.

How many equivalent ninety degree bends are allowed in araceway between outlet boxes?

You are allowed 4 - 90 degree bends between openings. This is 360 degrees. Regardless of the sizes of bends, the 360 degrees is the limitation. In actual practice, you want to avoid bends as much as possible. I can tell you from experience that having more than 270 degrees, that's 3 - 90 degree bends, is ill advised unless absolutely necessary.


Why are you only allowed 360 degrees of bend jn a electrcal condit run?

Any more than four 90 degree bents (equaling up to 360 degrees) or a combination of other bends will make it quite difficult to pull the wires into that pipe. This is why the electrical code prohibits more than 360 degrees. If you have to put more bends than that, place a junction box on the line after the first 360 degrees. This way you pull to the junction box and then use that junction box so continue the rest of the way.

Who won out of the Xbox and the ps3?

You must mean the Xbox 360 because the Xbox lost to the PS2 and was discontinued. Only the early Xbox 360 release after the Xbox failure has even allowed anyone to consider that they are competitive. The 2005 Xbox 360 release allowed the Xbox 360 to develop a strong USA market that it continues to hold in spite of higher PS3 sales in the rest of the world. Total worldwide sales for Xbox 360 is only higher because it was sold during the year before the PS3 release in 2006.
