I am not sure what you mean by large diameter. We bend conduit all

Right, but even to bend 1" pipe, surely you use a "bending device"
(my
family would disown me for that... both father and brother are
electricians and I spent a few summers as an electrician's helper,
but
am a complete nerd about practical matters... so, I don't recall
what
that fulcrum thingy is called). Anyway, I'm guessing that the
larger
diameter pipes cannot be bent, readily, without mechanical
assistance.
Hence my thought that, if a human can't readily bend it, a 100
pound
kayak is not likely to bend it either (even at 50 pounds times,
let's
say, 30 inches). But, as I say, I'm not the electrician, I'm the
geek.

And all US are like Archie!
More like Moose!
We have a few of them around here, but I understand that there are a
lot more up there. What are they like? TnT
I'm talking Archie...Moose...and in your case, Jughead. Go back to your
Bunker.
