[BC] 3 1/8" air bend radius

[Jason Kardokus]

Andy,

The specs for 3 inch (HJ8-50B) are on page 566 of the Andrew Catalog.  Or go
to this link: http://www.andrew.com/catalog38/ and type in HJ8-50B in the
search by type window.  The minimum is 30 inches, however I'm with Cowboy.
I would keep the bends as large as possible especially if you ever had to
pull something through again.

As far as the size of conduit it is going to be a tough pull no matter what
if you ever have to replace it.  The products Mike has talked about would be
best but you can't make them continuous.  I think an 8 inch conduit would be
plenty large just keep the sweeps to at least to a large radius.  Maybe up
to 72".

Is the minimum turning radius for 3 1/8" air line 30 inches or 36 inches?
Should you use 8 inch conduit or should it be larger?
