Question:
Hello CQD,
I understand that there can be no more than 360 degrees of bends in a conduit run from box to box or pull point to pull point. My question is, do the little offset bends at each surface-mounted box count in the total degree of bands. Thanks for your opinion.

Answer:
Hello Sam,
The answer is yes. The bends, no matter how small, should not add up to more than 360 degrees. Each band adds resistance to the pulling in of conductors. See XXX.26 in the conduit, tubing articles in NEC Chapter 3.
