Ductile iron conduit bender
The Ideal 74-027 is a ductile iron hand bender built for 3/4 in. EMT conduit. A 38 in. handle provides ample leverage for electricians and contractors forming bends on the job site. Raised and cast markings on the head allow quick material identification and accurate sizing during each bend. The centerline bend radius is 5 1/4 in. for consistent results.
Who this suits and who should look elsewhere
This tool suits professionals and apprentices who regularly bend 3/4 in. EMT, rigid or sheathed cable and want a durable iron head with a long handle for standing operation. It is not for installers working with larger conduit sizes such as 1 in. or 1 1/4 in. EMT, nor for users who require a powered or hydraulic bending solution for high-volume production.
Deciding specification: 3/4 in. EMT capacity
The single specification that determines fit is the 3/4 in. EMT capacity stamped on the bender head. If the conduit you install is 3/4 in. EMT, this bender matches the material; if you work with any other trade size, you need a different head. The 5 1/4 in. centerline radius and 38 in. handle length support that capacity but do not change the size limitation.

Questions about this item
Will the 3/4 in EMT capacity handle the same conduit sizes as my older 1/2 in bender?
No, the 74-027 is sized for 3/4 in EMT only; it does not accommodate 1/2 in conduit.
How can I verify the centerline bend radius is accurate after I mount the 38 in handle?
The ductile iron body has raised and cast markings that show the 5 1/4 in centerline radius for quick visual confirmation.
Does the box include the 38 in handle or must I order it separately?
The handle is supplied with the bender; nothing extra is required to start bending.
