A corner offset is a bend consisting of two offsets turned at a 45º angle from each other.

A corner offset is a bend consisting of two offsets turned at a 45º angle from each other.

• A. True
• B. Two offsets at 60 degrees
• C. One offset at 45 degrees
• D. False

Answer: (D)

Corner offsets use two 45-degree bends to create a 90-degree change in direction, with a short straight segment between them. Each bend is 45°, but the overall deflection is 90°, not a 45° difference between the two bends. So describing a corner offset as two offsets turned at a 45º angle from each other isn’t accurate. The correct idea is two 45° bends that together produce a 90° turn.
