    three

    length depends on pipe diameter.
    Cost is what you spend , value is what you get.

    swing joints - no easy answer

    No easy answer, 3 elbow swing joint is considered the "cats pajamas" for entering a building from a riser from the ground, if it is piped correctly. I have seen more, but less won't do, unless it is a sizzor joint, which is for a different application and then you could still use 4 or more there, depending. If it were easy, they wouldn't have paid me $millions$ over the years to do it right...

    Length of nipples depends on pipe size, but typically 4 to 6 inches (depending).
