Conduit bender for 1/2 in EMT

The Ideal 74-026 is a ductile iron bender head paired with a 38 in handle for bending 1/2 in EMT conduit. Raised and cast markings on the head provide reference points during the bend. A built-in pedal adds foot leverage for controlled force. The unit ships as a complete head and handle assembly.

Suited for electricians pulling 1/2 in EMT runs

Electricians who need a dedicated 1/2 in EMT bender with a long handle for leverage will find this tool matches the job. The 4 5/16 in centerline radius is fixed, so installers who require a different radius or who work with larger conduit sizes should look at other options. The iron construction adds weight that some users may prefer to avoid for overhead work.

1/2 in EMT size and 4 5/16 in centerline radius

The bender head is made specifically for 1/2 in EMT with a 4 5/16 in centerline bend radius. This radius determines the minimum sweep of each bend and must match the conduit specification for the installation. Verify that the conduit size and required radius align with this tool before purchase.

Questions about this item

How does the 4 5/16 in centerline radius affect the bend on 1/2 in EMT?

The 4 5/16 in centerline radius produces a standard sweep for 1/2 in EMT, matching NEC minimum radius requirements and preventing kinks or flattening during the bend.

What does the 3/4 in handle diameter mean for leverage and grip?

The 3/4 in diameter steel handle fits standard bender heads, accepts a 38 in length for high leverage, and provides a solid grip without needing a separate cheater pipe.

Will the 38 in handle fit through standard stud bays or tight panels?

At 38 in long the handle needs clear swing space; it will not pass through a 16 in on-center stud bay without angling, so plan the bend location for open floor or wall cavities.
