INTRODUCTION
The Greenlee No. 849 Electric PVC Bender is designed to
provide a single operator with an effective and easily
portable means for heating small diameter PVC conduit for
bending. The only other materials required for making
bends are as follows:
1. Insulated Rubber or other Heavy Duty Gloves
2. Pail of water
3. Sponge or clean rag
4. Scrap PVC for test run
IMPORTANT BENDING TIPS
1. Use this bender only in a well ventilated area. Do not
operate this unit near volatile or combustible materials.
2. Wear insulated gloves when operating this unit and
always use the plastic handles when moving or open ing unit.
3. A few practice bends using sections of scrap PVC are
always recommended so that operator becomes familiar with the operation of this unit.
4. Since a 10 to 15 minute warm-up period is required
before bending can begin, operator should set up unit
and switch on the power as soon as he arrives at the job
site. During warm-up, operator can assemble his mate rials, plan his bends, and mark the bend areas on the
PVC conduit.
5. To help prevent kinks or wrinkles when making 90
degree bends in 2" PVC duct, use 2 Greenlee No.
30976 PVC Plugs to trap the air in the conduct and help
keep the PVC from attening or kinking.

OPERATION
849 1/2" - 2" ELECTRIC PVC HEATER
1. Set Up - Connect unit to power source (120 Volts, AC,
60 cycle). Turn switch to on position (built-in pilot light
indicates when unit is operating). After a warm-up
period of 10 to 15 minutes, the heating and bending of
PVC conduit can begin.
2. Heating PVC - For best results, test for the best heating
time using a few pieces of scrap PVC. With all materials
at hand lower the door of the unit until it is fully open. Lay
rst section of PVC between the pairs of guide rollers on
either end of the unit as shown in Fig. 3. The section of
PVC you wish to bend must be centered within the unit.
Keep door of unit closed during the heating process.
To obtain even heating of the PVC, conduit must be
constantly rotated by hand, as shown in Fig. 4. The
PVC should become pliable enough for bending after
about one minute. Heating time may vary due to differences in size and thickness of the PVC. An automatic
thermostat regulates temperature and prevents overheating of the unit.
Keep a close watch on the PVC and keep close track
of the time to prevent scorching of the conduit.
door and remove from unit, laying the conduit on a at,
clean surface. Bend can now be shaped by hand. To
set the bend, cool the PVC by using a rag or sponge
soaked with cool water, as shown in Fig. 5.
3. Bending PVC - When PVC becomes pliable, lift open
