HOW TO MAKE A 3 POINT SADDLE?

LESSON NO. 7

TOPIC:-    EMT.

AIM:-      How to make a 3 Point Saddle?

PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVES:-   S.W.B.A.T  (Student will be able to)

1. Define a 3 Point Saddle.
2. Know the application for a 3 Point saddle. 
3. Know the required to make a 3 Point saddle. 
4. Make a 3 Point saddle.

DEFINITIONS:-  3 Point Saddle:-    It is a bend that we go over an existing round obstruction in most cases another electrical raceway. This bend consists of 3 bends, One at the center and two other bends at equal distance from the center bend, But in the opposite direction.

 STEPS :-

1. Measure the distance of the starting point to the center of the obstruction. 
2. Transfer this measurement on to your tubing (place a mark) this becomes your center point.
3. For 1/2" EMT place on mark on your tubing 3 1/2" towards the left from your center mark (this becomes point X ).
4. Repeat step 3 but towards the right from center (This becomes point Y).
5. Make a 45* degree bend a center point of tubing by placing it at point "A" on bender. 
6. Reversing the tubing make a 22.5* degree bend at point "X" on tubing and place it at point arrow on bender.
