QuickBend: Conduit Bending

Bret H. Hardman

About this app

QuickBend is the quickest and most accurate conduit bending calculator app.

QuickBend is an advanced conduit bending calculator that was created to be fast and accurate while being visually appealing, innovative, and intuitive. Offering you the most accurate measurements using the centerline radius algorithm based upon the bender that you're using.

Easily select between different types of benders and choose the size of the shoe and conduit type that you're using. The last bender that you selected will be the bender that appears when you open the app up again. See and edit your bender's information (Centerline Radius, Deduct, Gain, Setback, Travel, and Radius Adjustment) within the 'Bender Specs' section.

Bends also include data management, which will save the last values that you've entered into the app.

QuickBend supports the following bends.

• Offset
• Rolling Offset
• Matching Bends Offset
• Matching Centers Offset
• Parallel Offset
• Three-Point Saddle
• Four-Point Saddle
• 90
• QuickKick
• Kick With 90
• Matching Bend Kick
• Matching Center Kick
• Parallel Kick
• Parallel Kick Forward
• Compound 90 - Circle Obstruction
• Compound 90 - Rectangle Obstruction
• Compound 90 - Square Obstruction
• Segmented 90

QuickBend Multiple Bends

• Layout multiple bends on a single stick of conduit.
• Offset to Obstruction
• Offset from Obstruction
• Matching Offset to Obstruction
• Matching Offset from Obstruction
• Three Point Saddle
• Four Point Saddle
• 90˚ Bend, Kick
• Kick with 90
• Place a cut mark for those rare occasions that you need to cut and thread the conduit before bending.
• Flip bends around.
• Graphic representation of where the bend/cut will layout on a stick of conduit.
• Bend layouts are based on your benders centerline radius, deduct, and gain.
• Toggle 'Measure to Center' to help line up conduits when working on raceways with multiple conduit sizes.

QuickBend also includes a protractor level which is easily accessible and can be Zeroed by a simple tap.

QuickBend allows you to pick between either form of measurements, imperial (inches) or metric (cm).

QuickBend's QuickCheck indicates if bends are impossible by a subtle change of turning the measurements and text red.

QuickBend's centerline radius algorithm is especially useful when bending conduit that is larger than 1 inch and bends that exceed 30 degrees.

Ratings and reviews

I've only ever paid for two apps. This is one of them. 100% worth it. Many people compliment my conduit work, and I always tell them about this app! It saved me countless of hours and dollars of material. I only use multiple bends feature and it works perfectly! The only thing I'd recommend for a change is the digital level should have a small defined button to actually reset it. I continuously reset the level when handling the phone.

This is a fantastic app. Years ago I made a chart for all the benders I've used on the job which included info about the start of bend, the centerline radius, the deductions and the minimum distance from the end of conduit to the shoe. It also had the formula for the developed length of a bend. I don't have to use that chart anymore. This app does it for me.

Great app. One thing they could add is concentric bends. If that was added it would literally have every possible option for bending with any type of bender. Other than that, it has made years of pipe bending so much easier. I recommend it to everyone. Thanks for such a great app. Well worth the price -IBEW Local 73 member
