With a traditional pipe bender, is there a minimum (parallel) offset that can be achieved over a distance of, say, 300mm? For example, could you achieve an offset of 10mm / 20mm / 30mm (and so on) over that distance?
I know that benders are marked for 30° for lesser-offsets, but wonder if you would / could go shallower if you need a bit of a kink in the pipe as mentioned above e.g. pipes not quite aligned with rad tails?Using a pair of 45° fittings with a bit of pipe inbetween creates an offset that is a slightly more than what I require, hence the question.
TIA
