Conduit offset calculator for electricians

An offset moves a conduit run up, down, or around an obstruction and brings it back parallel. On the job that means knowing:

• How far the pipe travels along the run
• How much shrink to allow so the end lands where you want
• Where to place bend marks on the stick before the first bend

Doing that from memory or a chart is fine when you have time. On a busy rack, marks you can verify on a layout screen save re-bends.

1. Choose Simple Offset (or Parallel Offset when runs must stay spaced).
2. Enter measurements in tape-measure fractions — no decimal conversion.
3. Read travel, shrink, and bend marks with a visual layout and field steps.
4. Confirm against the pipe and your bender before you bend.

Bender profiles (Milwaukee, Klein, IDEAL where published values are available) keep take-up and deduct in the calculation instead of one generic number.

• Measure the obstruction and the clearance you need
• Confirm conduit type and size
• Check bender shoe and published take-up for that size
• Mark the stick from the layout, then verify distances with your tape
• Follow AHJ / jobsite safe work practices

BendLogic assists layout. You confirm every mark before bending.
