What kind do you have?

The "smartest" way, in my mind, is to make the cut-out the bend, so when the cut-out is open it's a straight shot out the opening.

One guy (forget who it was) posted a picture of one where they basically welded a cut-out cap flange on the bend so that when uncapped, it did what I described above.
