Plumbing not plumb (anal compulsive edition)

[djdavenport]

I've spent the winter tinkering around with my heating system, and it works great. But, in the process of adding a few things and tweaking a few things, the left hand side (see photo) is not plumb and it's annoying me. What would annoy me more would be if I tried to fix it and suddenly it sprung leaks or otherwise quit working. I'd also like to not have to cut pipe and sweat fittings if I can help it. It's not worth that to me.

What I'm wondering is if there's enough natural flex in the 1" pipe that I could nudge it square with a hydraulic jack pushing against the lower left hand corner? All we're looking at is probably 1 to 1-1/2" inches, but I have nightmares of cracking something.

Any suggestions? Risk/reward assessment? Just live with it? No bad answers at this point.

Thanks.

And, yes, I do know it's piping, not plumbing...

Live with it. Should you ever get to the point when you want to replace say a pump or other item, things will spring apart, and give you grief putting it back together if you don't break something in the beginning.

I think you did well. Next project?

Thanks, Terry. If you're willing to sign off on it not being hopelessly shoddy work, I'm more than happy to. What's next? Nothing, thankfully. I think I kind of exceeded by pay grade on this one. Cheers!
