Hi
Im still on the very basics at the moment so please bear with me. Ive attached a picture (below) on what im trying to explain and work out so im hoping that is going to help someone answer me.
Ignoring the radiator feed and return, just look at the hot and cold. Im not bothered about the height from the floor either. Is there any easy way to work out the angles of the bends? If I want to run a pipe from the Tee on the hot, over the rad feed and return, how would I (assuming the centre to centre point is 100mm on each pipe)
a) measure the length of pipe over the rad hot and cold
b) measure the angles needed to bring it back to the wall and also to the Tee
I would imagine the angle from the rad feed would be 45 degrees and the angle back to the wall would also be 45 degrees.
What about the angle over the rad return to the Tee? Is that also 45 degrees?
Apologies if this doesnt make much sense, I know what I want to explain but putting it in to words is somewhat difficult.
I do know about bending with regards to measuring back depending on the angle and size of pipe, im happy with that, im just slightly baffled about how to pull these bends (in the picture) accurately each time. Is there a simple way of doing it and im looking into it too deep?
By all means, feel free to ask me anything that I might have missed. As I say im only on the basics so theres a good chance some info you need is missing.
