# Ideal Conduit Bending Head Instructions
The Ideal Industries brand of conduit bender is used to install corners in EMT conduit. This type of conduit is a thin walled metal pipe that is easily bent with a manual tool. Conduit is used anytime electrical wires are installed outside of wall systems or on the exterior of the home. Its job is to protect the conductors from mechanical damage and prevent the electrocution of its residents. Bending conduit with an Ideal bender is a simple process.
