Sweeps and Roll Bending

Wagner can produce sweeping rail returns (sweeps) to your specifications. These sweeps greatly reduce the time spent by fabricators in the field while providing the quality look of a true sweeping elbow. Such elbows are recommended by ICC/ANSI A117.1 and ADASAD which state, “(…) continuous, inside handrails on switchback or dogleg stairs can indicate to the person with a visual impairment that another stair flight begins immediately after the turn.” When specifying these sweeps, use the templates shown on this page and submit the pipe or tube size and the dimension as noted.

Roll Bending • Pipe sizes: 3/4”, 1”, 11/4”, 11/2”, 2”, 3” and 4” • OD tubing sizes: 1.250”, 1.500”, 2.000”, 2.500”, 3.000”, 3.500”, 4.000”, 4.500” and 5.000” • Square and rectangular tubing sizes: 3/4” through 3” • Structural angles and channel When specifying roll bending, the following information is required: • Centerline radius (CLR) and angle, or • CLR and arc length, or • Chord and height The dimensions listed above all reference the centerline of the bend. You may also provide dimensions based on the inside or outside radii as long as the reference radii are consistently used. Minimum tangent lengths required are: • 8” each end up through 2” pipe size—2.375” OD • 18” each end for material larger than 2” pipe The arc length is limited by the stock length of material less the minimum tangent lengths. When possible, all like radii bends are combined and rolled as one larger length then split after rolling.
