Conduit Bending and Routing Quality Check

Inspection template for verifying conduit bends, routing, fill, support spacing, and installation alignment against approved drawings and applicable code requirements before wire pull.

Inspection Setup and Drawing Verification

• Area, run, and circuit identifiers recorded
  Document the location, conduit run ID, circuit designation, and inspector reference for traceability.
• Approved drawings and latest revision available on site
  Verify the field installation is being compared against the current approved drawings, specs, and marked-up revisions.
• Conduit type and size match the approved design
  Confirm EMT or other specified conduit type, trade size, and any special material requirements match the drawings and schedule.
• Inspection scope established before wire pull
  Confirm this inspection is being completed before conductors are installed so routing, bends, and fill can be corrected without rework.

Conduit Bends and Routing

• Total bend angle per conduit run does not exceed 360 degrees between pull points
  Measure or calculate the cumulative bend angle for each run between pull points, boxes, or accessible fittings.
• Bend radius and bend quality are free of kinks, flattening, or deformation
  Inspect each field bend for smooth curvature, no visible damage, and no reduction in conduit integrity.
• Offsets, kicks, and saddle bends are installed only where needed and match the intended route
  Verify bends are used to maintain alignment and clearance without unnecessary changes in direction or workmanship defects.
• Routing follows approved path and maintains required clearances from obstructions and other trades
  Confirm the conduit route matches the drawing intent and does not create conflicts, pinch points, or inaccessible sections.
• Conduit is supported and aligned without sagging or excessive strain at fittings
  Check for straight runs, proper alignment, and no visible stress on couplings, connectors, or boxes.

Supports, Securing, and Fittings

• Support spacing complies with project requirements and applicable code
  Measure the spacing between supports along the run and compare to the project specification and applicable NEC requirements.
• Conduit is securely fastened within required distance of boxes, cabinets, and terminations
  Verify end supports and securing points are installed where required and that fittings are tight and properly engaged.
• Couplings, connectors, and locknuts are installed correctly and fully tightened
  Inspect all fittings for proper engagement, no cross-threading, and no missing hardware or loose connections.
• Expansion, deflection, or transition fittings are installed where required by the route
  Confirm special fittings are present where movement, structural transitions, or material changes require them.

Conduit Fill, Capacity, and Accessibility

• Conduit fill is within allowable limits for the installed conductors and raceway size
  Record the calculated fill percentage for the conduit run and verify it remains within applicable code limits.
• Pull points, junction boxes, and accessible fittings are provided where required for the route
  Verify the run includes adequate access for conductor installation and maintenance based on the route complexity and bend count.
• Interior of conduit is free from burrs, sharp edges, debris, and moisture
  Inspect the raceway interior and ends for conditions that could damage conductors during pull or compromise installation quality.

Pre-Pull Readiness and Sign-Off

• Deficiencies documented with location and corrective action
  List any non-conformances, affected conduit runs, and required corrections before wire pull authorization.
• Reinspection required after corrections
  Indicate whether the installation must be rechecked before conductors are pulled.
• Inspector signature
  Inspector confirms the conduit bending and routing quality check is complete and accurate.
• Inspection date and time
  Record when the inspection was completed.
