2" copper water line
Somebody was telling me about a cool trick to roll out 2" copper, something about making a long box just wider than the pipe diameter and rolling it through that. I guess it keeps it from kinking, I want to ask him about it again but hes at deer camp. Anybody ever done this?

Pretty much the same thing, one guy stands the roll up and feeds it to a guy pulling the end to unspool it. There is no worry about kinking 2" copper ha. I hate 2" copper such a PITA to do anything with it.

Get yourself a garage door spring and put your copper threw that to do your bends. 2 guys to unroll the roll that is the only way. digger
