Pipe rack and pre bent fittings

[arnettda]

I am running 3 3"emt out of top of panel. I 90 out of top of panel and do not have room for a double 90 to go to my right so I am using a 45deg sweep and my 90 is turned 45deg from the panel instead of comming straight out. I can not keep my spacing between my pieces of pipe between 90 and 45. If I push the straight pieces together everything looks great. Is this normal or do I have something else wrong somewhere? Can I keep the spacing the same on those short pieces of straight pipe? I hope I am clear enough.
Thanks

In this case a photo would really help.

Get out the sledge hammer and adjust them? Or maybe adjust the surounding area? Or maybe a trough might work here? A picture would do wounders here.

Back-back 90's on 3" doesn't sound like fun. Can you cut them down a little to shorten the distance between them?

 

[Article 90.1]

Segmented concentric bends.

First off, when you roll side-by-side 90's by 45?, your center-to-center spacing is reduced by 30%, so your initial spacing has to allow for this reduction.

If I understand your situation correctly, the layout would be as in the attached pdf.

Disregard previously attached pdf... it has a compounded mistake. Go by the one attached here...

Thank you. I guess it is a little late as the holes are allready punched. I will take a picture tomorrow and post it and people can give there honest opinion. It looks better tight together than it did trying to maintain spacing as they flared out from each other.

Not so much^.



Seems like if all the 90's and 45's were the same dimension they would stack together perfectly.
