Is there any problem/difficulty using a hydraulic bender for larger RGS conduits(3"+) or a factory elbows would be more practical?
about 3 in each run of 2" and larger and have about 150 runs throughout building.How many bends are you talking about ??
kick and offset you mean a slight bend, correct?Even if you use prefab you'll still need a bender for kicks and offsets.
Yes even with manufactured 90's you'll still need a bender.kick and offset you mean a slight bend, correct?
Your saying you still need to use a bender on a pre fab elbow? Why?Yes even with manufactured 90's you'll still need a bender.
No, he said there will be offsets and kicks needed.Your saying you still need to use a bender on a pre fab elbow? Why?
Yes I understand that...and that is what the bender will be for. Thought he was also saying it's used on the pre-fabs which would not make sense....my bad.No, he said there will be offsets and kicks needed.
Wow that's a lot of labor. The actual time it takes is about 5 minutes to load the pipe onto the bender and to bend a 90° bend with a Greenlee 881.On a side note my estimating program give 4 hours per 4" RGS bend. Seems very heavy.
