If you don't mind a little distortion in the tube any commercial electrical contractor should be able to put that bend in it and do the threading as well. Just more options for you.
We build miles of handrail at work. 5' on centers for supports is standard. 1-1/4" sch 40 pipe makes up about 80% of it with 1-1/2" sch 40 being the balance. We have never made any from 1" even though it may technically pass the ADA with enough supports.
Thanks for everyone's input. I've incorporated a couple ideas like lowering the shelf that the bottle sits on (genius) and adding a lower locator for the bottle. Time to get cutting metal!
I thought about that too. I think I'm going to try to come up with something clever for my smaller bottle that can do double duty as what you're suggesting.
I've included provisions for everything but the stick stuff. If I need to do that then I'll do it at work. I'm not worried about it being tippy because it's wider than the current cart and I've never had any issues with that cart. I was worried more about my hardware cart (of similar design...

If safe lifting practices were followed why was this table moved 1 foot off the ground. Safe lifting would dictate only lifting it as far as necessary to move it.
