4-point saddle bend layout for conduit
Wider obstacle? Get all four marks before you commit pipe.
A 4-point saddle gives you a flat section over a longer obstruction. BendLogic returns labeled marks, bend order, and a CAD-style layout so you can check spacing on the stick first.

01 / Field notes
Why 4-point saddles go wrong in the field
Miss one mark spacing and the flat top is short, the ends do not land, or you eat pipe on a re-bend. Charts help — a labeled layout with bend order helps more when gloves are on and the rack is waiting.
