Need a gradual
bend?
Need a sharp
bend?
Need an offset?
You can get these and many
more variations at any truck supply store, or at chains like NAPA. I buy
2.25" ID truck radiator hose, and 2.25" OD metal tubing. The pieces that you can
select from have 45 degree bends, 90's as shown, and many more odd angles and
turns. The pre-bent pieces average $13-$17 each where I buy them, and some
include THREE angles in them. You just cut out the individual bends as I
do, and you can clamp together any configuration that your
heart desires.
The metal
bends are mandrel, and are available from JCWhitney The one shown above is $7.00
The following is an example of just a few configurations that I stuck together to illustrate the point that any size and shape hose can be made!
