Bends In Conduit

Bends In Conduit

Bends In Conduit

(OP)
I went out to a jobsite today and some of the ditches in which the Contractor had installed underground conduit were still open.  In the area of an electrical room one run of conduit had a 180 degree bend closely followed by a a 90 degree bend that turned the conduit up into the electrical room.  I was under the impression that individual bends in a conduit run could be no more than 90 degrees.  In any case this is poor workmanship.  The code says:

"There shall not be more than the equivalent of four quarter bends (360 degrees total) between pull points, for example, conduit bodies and boxes."

Anybody got anything for me?

RE: Bends In Conduit

Are there more or fewer than 360 degrees total?  Sounds kinda strange, but I haven't seen the situation they were trying to deal with.
