Message I imagine it is so they can keep the production as an "assembly line"
style, helping cost down. It looks like there are mostly 45 degree bends
with a couple 15 or 30 degrees (ish) near the TBs. All very common
angles to purchase when buying stock to make the kit(s). Also they can
set up jigs to make every weld and have confidence that any slop will be
minimal enough to be corrected in the silicone couplers. Even if you
know all of the angles at which you need to bend the pipes, there is still
calculating how the bend changes the length of the pipe and the rotation
of the pipe vs. the previous bend to make the connections correct and
have appropriate clearance. However they can answer best, I am simply
going off my experiences bending conduit on electrical installs. Anyone
have any other thoughts?
Oh yeah, the pipes look great! I'm looking forward to seeing them
installed.
