bending 40mm pushfit plastic pipe

[breezer]

title says it all really. Is it possible (I am ring one of my little "projects")

I know that to bend a plasic pipe / conduit you need a spring, but to bend 40mm pushfit pipe any one heard of it being done?

no -officially, yes - if you heat it up!

I wouldnt though (maybe for a slight curve) use proper fittings instead...proper job!

you might get away with packing it with sand

i cant heat it too much, i tried that once, it doesnt like too much heat, and not enough it wont bend, and its for a "project" of mine for me, so what happens in between does not count. but thanks for replying

I've tried it. It's very difficult to get a smooth bend, even for a very slight angle, and you'll probably burn the plastic. Much better to use fittings as bster said. Two 45° bends, one or both MxF, will allow you to adjust to any angle.

how about a flexi waste
