Mandrel bending pipe can only be done on a given radii. If you notice, we don't have a given radii on these pipes...it's very organic, something mandrel bending wouldn't give you. If you really look at the shape, it's not something a bender will give you.

It would take a pipe roller. If it were smaller gauge and thinner wall, it would have been possible with a pipe roller, but this is schedule 40 2-1/4" steel pipe, not EMT.

If you're needing someone to tell you what to buy, how to install it, or how to make it sound good, I charge a consulting fee.
