Northend Rental performs custom pipe bending and threading ranging from 1/8" up thru 6" rigid. Most of the major projects in the Seattle area for the last 28 years have some of our bends in them, from both the Seahawks and Mariners stadiums to the bus tunnel. Robert, our main pipe manipulator, has been doing the bulk of our bending and threading for more than 20 years. (That translates into about 400 years of bending and threading for a typical electrician!) We also have some grooving and beveling capabilities. Call and ask for Robert with any questions regarding or to make arrangements for our pipe services.
It Is Important To Remember...
Not all pipe is bendable or threadable!
Not all tube-shaped things are pipe! The word "pipe" has a specific meaning - especially when it comes to tooling designed to manipulate it! (Think: bend or thread)
The vast majority of pipe is installed straight, so the manufacturers occasionally produce some out-of-spec pipe that does not bend gracefully. This is not the machine's fault. (Or ours!) Either use the out-of-spec batch for the straight parts of your run, or return it to your supplier.
Things To Keep In Mind...
All jobs are scheduled and on a first come, first served basis.
Occasionally, if our schedule permits, we can break in and perform a while-you-wait service for a 50% charge. All such interruptions MUST be arranged in advance!
Materials other than steel: If the material is anything other than steel, please call ahead to discuss your requirements.
We will not be held liable for problems with pipe which are caused by material inconsistencies or over/under-sized pipe. These are manufacturer quality control problems and should be taken up with your supplier.
If you do not care for the pricing on our services, we will be happy to rent you the equipment necessary to perform your job.

Pictured below:
Three out of four completed 16" offsets in 21' sticks of 6" GRC. These offsets were ordered by a customer to be installed as parallel runs on the side of a bridge and used as casings for innerduct. The bends were done using a bender designed and built by Northend Rental including the segment shoe, which was cast from naval bronze.
