bending 10mm pipe

[marlb]

Hi,

Can anyone recommend a good way of bending 10mm pipe? I only need to bend it through 90 deg. Are mini pipe benders any good?

The bend will be below the point at which it rises to the rad.

many thanks...

no problems with mini benders.

external bending spring will be a lot cheaper to buy.

If it's a tight bend, then mini benders are better.

If it's a more gradual bend, then spring, or carefully by hand without any tools.

I am using plastic coated so I may see how I get on without tools.

Thanks for the usual fast and reliable advice.
