We can get some pretty decent deals on 4" piping and bends. Iv'e tried to stay away from the 180's and work mostly with 90's and 45's. The bends we've been using in the shop are pretty nice and very resonablly (Sp?) priced. I can do 4" 90's for $38 and 45's for $38 also. Straight sections would be $14 a foot. With some of the projects we've done in the past few years, we've had the luxury of working with some of the polished bends that are a little cheaper, and we've found that we can produce a nicer bead without the pipe already being polished. Im sure there are plenty of ways to go about it, but this is just what works for us. The 3" bends that I have in stock have 6-7" of staight on each side of the bend. the 4" stuff im pretty sure has roughly 7-8" of staight on it. Works out nice when you don't need a big run before another bend is needed, alows you to make it all out of one peice that way. Less welds I guess.
If your interested in some aluminum, shoot me a PM with how much your looking for and im sure we can get you taken care off, or feel free to give us a call at the shop.
