Bending 3" EMT

[arnettda]

I have a 5' by 5' square shaft that I am passing a 3" pipe through. Can I get a 4 inch offset inside that 5' space? I have found a shop that will bend it for me I just did not ask them. I probally could use prebent 45's as well?

You can definitely do it with a bender but using prebent 45s will be way more than 4"

You might be able to do it with a pair of 22s if you cut them down but I doubt it even if you cut them smaller.

If the OP needs a 4" horizontal off-set, if conditions allow they could roll it vertically.

Agreed, and 22's are not a stock item here.

Even with cutting down, 15 degree manufactured bends might not make it for a 4" offset. With a bender you could easily make this bend.

Yes you could get the 4" offset in 5' with a bender . Most likely with 22 degrees , maybe 30 degrees. Since you dont have a bender maybe you could roll the offset with the factory 45 degree bends.
