What is the take-up for a stub-up when bending a 1/2" conduit?

When bending a stub-up for a 1/2" conduit, the take-up measurement is crucial for ensuring that the conduit is bent to the correct angle and height. The take-up refers to the amount of conduit that will be consumed during the bending process.

For a 1/2" conduit, the standard take-up distance is 5 inches. This measurement takes into account the bend radius and the geometry of the bend itself, ensuring that the conduit comes up at the correct vertical position once it is installed. Understanding this is particularly important in practical applications where space and installation precision are critical.

Selecting the take-up value that is used for the stub-up helps prevent miscalculations during the installation process, which can lead to complications such as improper conduit positioning or insufficient material for the bend, resulting in potential delays or additional costs in the project.
