twist fitting

[sheetmental]

a 30 degree twist fitting, 1 corner straight, tdc. i think it looks kinda interesting. it took me a little while to figure out how to bend it though.



whadda you think? neat huh? i had to make 4 of them for a job i was on last year. i came across the pic and decided to share

Thanks! Yes these will get your thinking twisted...

Very nice fitting.....I am not a air balancer, but this looks like it would play havoc on your air flow ? I can see where bending time is the real thinking time here

[pricer]

Nice job, I know what you mean about the bending part, it can be tricky.

Well..... I woulda made it radiused! LMAO

Sweet looking fitting. I made one that was a 1/4 twist once, thankfully it didn't have to be perfect and would be hidden, it didn't turn out half that nice.

Pretty cool. How did you lay it out? I've made one before for a grease duct job. I believe I used a triangulaton method similar to that of a square to round.

It looks like a fun one to build because it's not center twisted. It appears that the upper left corner is in line...I'll think about that one on my way to work this morning.

This piece is like the problems my old journeyman used to set me ,he would come in on the Monday and say things like ,can you develop a cone? i would answer yes and he would then produce some obscure sketch and tell me to develop the pattern on template paper ,Iowe this man and many more through the years a big thanks for a love and passion for sheetmetal work and pattern development that has never faded with time . Yours with a lump in his throat Marky

We went over this fitting in class tonight...
You got it right, I see two valleys there...
BTW- My Instructor, who just happens to be one of my supervisors at work, not to mention a lifelong friend, informed the entire class about this website tonight.
