Default Bending EMT

I see a 90 with an offset.


To achieve 90 degree angle with a 3" offset: Using 4 bends of 22
degrees, the muliplier (from right angle trig) is 1/sin 22 is about 2.7,
so 4*2.7 =10.8" appear to be required. So, I would distribute the four
22 degree bends evenly along 10.8" of EMT.

Please correct me as necessary, and mention how many bends would you use
for the same problem. Give some consideration to the final appearance.
