An offset bend in conduit is typically made to connect to which location?

An offset bend in conduit is specifically designed to connect to a box. This type of bend allows for a horizontal or vertical adjustment in the conduit run while maintaining a connection to the box in a way that keeps the conduit's integrity and alignment. This is particularly useful when the conduit needs to navigate around obstacles or when changing the direction of the conduit is necessary to align perfectly with the entry point of the box.

In contrast, other locations like the main panel, grounding rod, and switch do not typically require the specific maneuvering that an offset bend provides. Those connections may rely more on straight sections of conduit or other types of bends that do not necessitate the same adjustments that an offset bend accommodates.
