 The rule of thumb is MINIMUM bend radius is 10 times the diameter
 of the cable, so for 3 1/8 that would be 31 1/4 inch MINIMUM
 bend radius.

 It's tough to do. Personally, I like a 48 inch minimum.
 Any tighter, buy elbows and flanges.
 Faster, easier, with far less chance of a screw up distorting
 the cable, so potentially cheaper.
