The maximum amount of bends allowed in a conduit run point to point is 360 degrees. This shall include all 90 deg bends along with kicks, offsets, etc.

Depending on the size conduit, and amount of wires in the conduit, we often keep the total amount of bends at 180 degrees.

Fittings such as LB's, pulling Ells, along with junction boxes, act as pull points.

Not exactly sure what you mean. But you can't have more than 4 90 degree bends in a continuous conduit run. Does that help?

In other words... add up the number of degrees of each bend from the beginning to the end (effectively between any two pull points) and the total muber can not excede 360. As an example 4 - 90 degree bends hit that... or 8 - 45 degree bends.
