2" Rigid offset

[Jerseydaze]

Here is my problem PSE&G wants me to use 2" Rigid over a roof of a dwelling unit (home)My problem is the faisher is large and juts out about 3" so I need a way to do this .I don't know where in north NJ I can rent a Bender I'm not buying one.versa bar is only 2" and will look like crud any sudgestions would be great.

Contact a large firm with a bender and pay them to bend you the offset.

I use a nearby "greentree" bender.

 

[Oakey]

I got one from a rental store recently in bergen county. Are you close to that?

 

[stickboy1375]

Dont tell anyone, but I've used a plumbers hydraulic bender before.

 

[mattsilkwood]

i agree with brian with the right tools it wont take 10 minutes to bend. youll be money ahead and it will lokk proffesional.

I wonder what the bending radius on those shoes are compared to a conduit bender shoe.

 

[nakulak]

just run str8 up thru the roof, flash it.

Not sure, but it did a 6" offset with no problem.

Plumbers?

Ones with more toys than me...

I bought one of those bottle jack type tubing benders from one of those travelling tool sales tent things years ago. They are pretty handy for little kicks and offsets if you only have to make one for something like offsetting a service mast around a gutter or fascia board. Saves loading up the whole Greenlee rig to make one little thing if you didn't measure it ahead of time to make the bend in the shop.

The one I pictured is only 150 bucks at Northern Tool.

I've used two 45's in an emergency (late call, 3 freezers full of food). It wasn't a house but it didn't look that bad (in the dark anyway).

I think he's saying that there's no overhang to go up through, even if he wanted to. I run into these from time to time. This is not my work, but here's a couple examples of why you need to sometimes offset a mast:

I had never had the need for something like this untill a couple of years ago when I had two jobs at the same time that both needed offsets in 2" rigid.

I had one of the local trade schools do it for me.

Just to clarify, I meant factory 45's (and couplings).
