How many total degrees of bend does a 15° saddle represent?

A 15° saddle represents a specific type of bend in electrical conduit or piping to facilitate changes in direction. Each side of a saddle bend typically features two angles, and when calculating the total degrees of bend, you must consider both sides.

In this case, a 15° saddle includes two bends at 15° each, one on either side of the saddle. Therefore, to determine the total degrees of bend, you simply add the two angles together: 15° + 15° equals 30°.

The answer initially provided as 60° does not account correctly for the calculation of the total angle; it incorrectly assumes that there may be three angles involved rather than just two. The accurate sum of the two 15° bends is what leads to the conclusion that the total degrees of bend for a 15° saddle is indeed 30°.
