Greenlee 843A Hand Bender Head 1 Inch Conduit

Product Description

The GREENLEE 843A is an aluminum hand bender head designed for field bending of electrical conduit. It handles 1 inch rigid conduit capacity and is compatible with EMT, Rigid, and IMC conduit types. The head attaches to a standard bender handle and allows electricians to make precise stubs, offsets, back-to-back bends, and saddles without specialized hydraulic equipment. Constructed from aluminum, the 843A delivers a durable, lightweight tool suited for daily use on residential, commercial, and industrial wiring jobs. Weighing 8.3 pounds, it is manageable for single-technician use on the ground or overhead.

This bender head is used in electrical rough-in work where conduit must be routed around obstacles or transitioned between panels, junction boxes, and equipment. It is appropriate for use on both residential and light commercial projects. Electricians working with 1 inch EMT, rigid metal conduit (RMC), or intermediate metal conduit (IMC) will find this head suited to standard NEC-compliant installations requiring accurate, consistent bends. It is sold as a head only and requires a compatible bender handle for operation.

Installation Notes

Installation and use of this bender head should be performed by a licensed electrician familiar with NEC conduit bending requirements. Before beginning any conduit work, ensure the circuit is de-energized and locked out per OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. The bender head must be paired with a handle rated for the conduit type and size being bent — using an undersized or incompatible handle risks inaccurate bends or tool damage. Follow conduit fill and bend-radius requirements per the applicable NEC code edition.
