I have absolutely no idea, but maybe you can check with a well-equipped muffler shop.

Take it to a muffler shop or a fabrication shop if you don't find someone to do it for you.

I can LAY pipe...

Oh, wait. You were serious...

:P

If all else fails I'm sure I could get it done for you, but that would be out towards the Ontario area...

???

Is it thin wall? Standard electrical type (thicker walls)?

Walk into a plumbing or muffler shop and they should be able to bend it, just as long as its not too too short.

to bend 2" GRC for a service riser requires a hydrolic bender, I can bend up to 1" GRC or 1 1/4" EMT by hand. if you have an account, you can order it bent from your local electrical supply house

I am fairly certain IMS (Industrial Metal Supply) has hydraulic roll benders that can handle 2" galvanized. The LA location is just north of Burbank. A single simple bend should not cost that much.

Chuck Norris can bend pipe just by telling it to bend.

Dunno about a hydraulic bender, but I hear he's pretty handy with a chain saw...

Gotta admit it's nice to see someone not taking themselves too seriously...

nope, you can't bend over 1" grc by hand and it is a real biatch, better weigh 200# and have your tools on.

$50 is cheep, do you have any idea how much that machine cost? or how much you have topay a pipfitter to run it?

i own a shop, if you want to do it cheap and are hands on, buy a bender from Harbor Frieght (cheap I know) but for$50 you could buy a bender that has a die for up to 2"...
