10-4.  Thank you for the input!!  I’m in conversation with fabricator.  I’m 
hoping to get it worked out.

That project was 20 years ago and fabricated by Automatic Sprinkler Corp of 
America fab shop in Los Angeles - the curved roof. It is actually the downtown 
San Diego Trolley Station.

There is another fab shop in LA or Orange County that does fab bent pipe.

I haven't dealt will any in the SE.

Great news.  Curved roof is exactly the situation I’ve got.  Any chance you 
have worked with a fabricator in the SE that could handle it?  Project is in 
Nashville.

I have done many projects with bent pipe. Depends on who fabricates your pipe. 
I always specify the bend radius.

A recent project had a 232 ft bend radius for a crude oil storage tank.

Looks great, for curved roofs.

Anyone out there ever taken advantage of the allowance in NFPA 13 to bend 
system piping?  If so, how did you go about specifying it for fabrication?  
Also, how did it turn out?  Was it worth the effort?  I have a project that has 
a curved roof that looks almost like a wave.  Bent pipe would really help if I 
can figure out a way to get it fabricated.
