I need to find out the formula to figure the length of a pipe that will be between two other fixed pipes on the same wall at a 45 degree angle. Can someone help me with a simple formula for this.

Thanks!

I don't think I clearly understand your question... but... can you take a tape measure and measure it ?
If you need the formula for figuring out one side of triangle, than: Triangle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangle)

Sorry... found where I had asked this a few months ago and got the answer, please disregard.

ScarlettV...


What was the answer? Was it describing a measurement between 45 degree fittings (or wye fittings) center to center times 1.4125, minus make-up(s)...

If so, I can also describe how we figure a rolling offset in connection to 45 degree fittings using math... pretty important when working with 12" and larger ductile-iron fittings!

Just curious... :)

It was the 1.41 answer.

When you figiued the offset did you factor in the make up on the 45's? Regards, Tom

What are those formulas?

It's simple! Take the measure between the center of the two pipes, multiply by 1.41 and subtract the makeup of the two 45's. Nb Cheers, Toim
