Electrical – Does an Electrical Metallic Tube (EMT) Inside Corner Pull Elbow count towards the 360° total bends

conduitelectrical

When running EMT, my understanding of Code is that the conduit cannot contain more than 360° in bends. If more bends than that are needed to complete the run, a pull box is required.

Do angle fittings such as this inside corner pull elbow count towards the no-more-than-360° rule, or are these considered a pull box/pull point?
(I see "pull elbow" in the description of the product, which leads me to believe they do not count towards the 360° rule, but I don't want to make assumptions).

Relevant Code citations are always appreciated. Thanks!

That's a pull point, albeit a possibly miserable one in practice. The latter bit being "informed opinion" as a frequent user of conduit.

As such, it "resets" your 360° (practically speaking, try to stay at 270 or less when possible - it meets code and there's less swearing involved.)
