I'm about to give you a parallel kick example on 3 inch EMT. I bent it on the Greenlee 881 mobile Camtrack. This is just an example showing how i used the setback and center of bend deduct to make these bends (I will post the link to the video that explains setback and how to use it correctly and how to chart your bender for center of bends of different degrees). Making it easier and eliminating a few steps making it easier and faster to bend your kicks with 90° stubs. I don't go into the layout process because I have all info in part 1 & 2, also posted the link for "The Measured Method". You can watch those videos, the links are posted down below. What I don't explain in this video is how to find the center of bend deduct, I am working on a video with the full detailed explanation of figuring the center of bend deduct.

Below are all the values I calculated for my layout.
Setback = 12.5"
Center of bend deduct for
3” EMT 30° = 10.5" (Greenlee 881)

Conduit #1
Rise = 14"
30° bends
Back of 90° to Center of kick = 28"

Spacing between Conduits 6” (Straight end)
Spacing between 90° bends 12"
(After kicks)

Conduit # 2
Rise = 20"
30° bends
Back of 90° to Center of kick = 40"

Reminder Please read Reminder Please read
In order to make the spacing between your 90° bends (Ex. 12") closer together you'll need to use a larger degree of bend so your multiplier changes. And vice versa. Also you could change the spacing at the straight portion of your conduits so the spacing at your 90's change. You'll need to play around with the figures a little if you need a specific spacing at the 90 degree stubs.
