BTW, I saw an "offset connnector" in a book that may eliminate my
need for an EMT bender. At about 1.50/each (on Amazon), there is
no apparent cost savings though. Perhaps they are cheaper by the
bag.

Bill, you really NEED a conduit bender. Rally, two, 1/2" and a
3/4". It is another skill to learn and master that will give you
and people like you (us) a good feeling of satisfaction. It really
isn't all that hard, and you will use it again, I guarantee.

Especially after you compare a successful bend to the pile of kinks
laying over in the corner...


Well, the (1/2") conduit is 1.60 for per 10 feet pc. I could afford to
practice a little. $30 for the bender. I think the appearance would
be better without so many offset connectors...


It would be. The conduit looks more graceful when it simply sweeps up into
a box, rather than having an offset screwed to it - but only marginally so,
since it still has to clamp into a box connector. Sorta like a great set of
34B's tucked into either a spandex sports bra, or tucked into a sheer lace
bra - both ruin the look of the natural beauty, one just ruins the look much
more. Swingman - ya with me on this one?
