Greenlee Bending Shoes for 40 Mil PVC Coated Rigid Conduit 2-2/12in - 34321
What Our Experts Think
Q&A
Q: What is the Greenlee 34321 used for?
A: It is a 2-1/2 inch bending shoe unit designed for bending 40 mil PVC-coated rigid conduit with Greenlee hydraulic benders.
Q: Which Greenlee benders is it compatible with?
A: The 34321 shoe is made for use with Greenlee 880 and 884 hydraulic benders.
Q: What conduit size does this shoe support?
A: It is specifically designed for 2-1/2 inch 40 mil PVC-coated rigid conduit.
Q: What is the bend radius?
A: The shoe provides an 11-7/16 inch centerline bend radius for smooth, accurate conduit bends.
Q: Why use a dedicated PVC-coated conduit shoe?
A: It helps protect the PVC coating during bending, reducing cracking, kinking, and coating damage on corrosion-resistant conduit systems.
Q: Is this suitable for industrial applications?
A: Yes, it is ideal for industrial, wastewater, utility, and corrosive-environment electrical installations where PVC-coated rigid conduit is required.
Q: What are the advantages of hydraulic bending shoes?
A: Hydraulic shoe systems provide precise bends, reduced operator effort, and consistent results on large conduit sizes.
Q: What condition is this item?
A: This listing is for a new surplus unit, meaning unused inventory that may show minor storage or handling marks but remains fully functional.
Maintenance Tips
-
Clean bending surfaces regularly: Remove PVC residue, dirt, and conduit particles after each use to maintain smooth bends.
-
Inspect shoe condition: Check for cracks, flat spots, or wear that could damage conduit coating or affect bend accuracy.
-
Verify proper fitment: Ensure the shoe is correctly mounted to compatible Greenlee hydraulic benders before operation.
-
Lubricate moving contact points: Apply light machine oil to pins and pivot areas only—keep bending surfaces clean and dry.
-
Protect PVC conduit coating: Avoid dragging conduit across rough surfaces to minimize coating damage during setup.
-
Check mounting hardware: Tighten all bolts and retaining components before heavy bending applications.
-
Avoid overload bending: Use only within rated capacity for 2-1/2" 40 mil PVC-coated rigid conduit.
-
Inspect cam release operation: Confirm smooth conduit release to prevent sticking or coating tears after bends.
-
Store in dry conditions: Prevent rust and corrosion by storing indoors away from moisture and contaminants.
-
Perform routine wear checks: Frequent inspections help maintain precise bend radius and long-term tool performance.
