Aluminium conduit bender with 38 in handle
The Ideal 74-047 is an aluminium conduit bender designed for EMT, Rigid and IMC conduit. A 38 in handle provides leverage for smooth, accurate bends with a centreline radius of 5 13/64 in. The 1 1/2 in diameter grip fits the hand comfortably for extended use on site.
Electricians needing one tool for multiple conduit
Suits professionals who bend EMT, Rigid and IMC with a single bender and want the reach of a long handle. Not for installers who only work with 1/2 in EMT and prefer a shorter, lighter tool, or for anyone requiring a powered hydraulic bender for high-volume production.
3/4 in EMT capacity defines the fit
This bender is sized for 3/4 in EMT; the shoe geometry and 5 13/64 in centreline radius are calibrated for that trade size. If the job calls for 1/2 in or 1 in conduit, a different bender is required.

Questions about this item
How do you set up the 38 in handle on the Ideal 74-047, and what step is often missed?
Slide the handle fully onto the bender head until it seats against the stop; the common miss is leaving a gap that lets the head twist under load.
What part of the Ideal 74-047 wears first and will need replacement?
The aluminum bending shoe rounds over time, especially at the 5 13/64 in centerline radius, and must be swapped when marks no longer align.
Which limit appears first when making repeated bends with the 74-047?
Handle flex becomes the limiting factor; the 38 in length amplifies force, so the shaft yields before the shoe deforms permanently.
