Thank you Duane

Thanks for your comments!

Thanks for watching and your comments

Sorry for the delay, hope you found a way to make your bend.

None taken.

This was a customer supplied video so I don't have an answer to your questions. Also this was a new build vs. retro. Thanks for watching and asking.

Thanks Charles for your comment. The PVC Bendit offers alternatives to the other heating methods. And. They typically are much less expensive - especially when bending larger diameter and longer lengths of PVC Pipe.

You would need to call a PVC Pipe distributor

Same as with PVC. Just may take slightly more time to heat up.

Hello and thanks for your comment. You can go online to our website: www.pvcbendit.com and click on Buy PVC Bendits --- there you will see our product offerings and you can select the Series A or B and the length i.e. 3, 6, 9, 10 or 20' length - you desire. If you are not located in the US send us an email and let us know the address where it would need to be shipped and we will determine if we can ship to that location. PVC Bendits work using 120 volt current. Mike

Thanks for your question and explanation of your design. I'm quite sure it can be done if the diameter is long enough. I like the idea of using air inside the pipe as that process has helped eliminate or minimize any kinks. I honestly don't think 30" is a sufficient diameter based on working to make a 90 degree bend. Are you using 20' lengths of pipe? With one PVC Bendit I'm sure you will need 70-90 minutes and you'll need to rotate your pipe for more even heat. Also, you'll need to be able to keep the pipe hot and pliable while placing it in your wooden jig. You'll need to placed insulation around the pipe and plug the ends to keep the heat generated by the PVC Bendit in the pipe until you relocate it in the jig. I'll be interested to hear your experience.

You can use 3/4" steel flexible metal conduit as it is available. One company used dryer vent hose in 8" pipe. It needs to be metal and is simply used to fill the space around the PVC Bendit which allows the pipe to heat to more evenly. Regarding the plugs, I have not tried what I am suggesting but I was thinking one could attach a few 'C' Clamps to the end of the pipe and this would stop the plugs from exiting. Let us know if you try this and how it works. Thanks, Mike

I hope that is a compliment and that you did receive value from watching the PVC Bendit video

@@SMEInkJet thank you for being positive. My suggestion is, make your videos short for simple works. All the best 👍

Hey, this is Trent - gentleman in the video. Your remarks gave me a good laugh and you are absolutely right. Most of our tutorials were overly detailed simply because we were transitioning into using some newer items that I was personally unfamiliar with, and it felt a bit necessary to be as thorough as possible to further reference from. However, even I agree that a two-minute explanation didn't need extended to over eight after having not watched this video in a couple of years. We're currently looking to revamp a few tutorials and taking into consideration that "assembling a rocket to send to space" isn't what users need to hear/see, so we appreciate your humorous input. Kindest regards!

I've never attempted to heat 10" pipe. I believe it would be very difficult to work with so I don't suggest it.

Thanks for your question. As we are not a testing company we can't provide definitive information on this matter.

For your info: An electrical company owner told me they used the 9B to heat 6" diameter PVC Pipe and obtain a sweeping bend of 22 degrees in six 10' lengths of pipe. They used regular end caps on the ends and installed a valve extension so they could use about 6 psi of compressed air. He didn't mention any kinking. They also used foam insulation vs. fiberglass as it was immediately available. He is going to make a roller to put the pipe in for future use. It took about an hour to get the pipe to the correct temperature. He is considering ordering another Bendit to increase his production capability.

There are many ways to bend PVC pipe and the PVC Bendit simply offers one method. Perhaps you have or will post your method on KZbin. BTW at what cost is the 9' or 10' trough if one must purchase it.

@@SMEInkJet My needs are limited to short but sharp bends for diy dust collection ducting. A couple of boards nailed in a ‘V’ and a kettle is all I fuss with. Near boiling water softens the plastic almost instantly. For kinking I switch to oven-hot sand. Strictly a rare-use, home-made operation. jim n.

@@jamesnasmith984 Sounds like you have a good method... Thanks for your input.

@@jamesnasmith984 How do you submerge the center of the pvc in a "kettle"? Wouldn't it need to already have a bend in it?

@@grumblycurmudgeon No submersion to start with. Pour-over does the heating. As the bend develops the elbow sags into a large bucket if you choose to go for submersion.

Thanks for letting me know this was helpful...

Hi and thanks for your comment. The purpose of the video was to show that even 6" diameter PVC Pipe can be shaped and that was the purpose of the video. If you need to bend a 90 or less in a 10' length of PVC Schedule 40 I believe we demonstrate this is possible but one would want to use a form for the outcome you desire to make it easier.

You're looking at one.

For all Bendit prices, visit our website.

Thanks for taking time to respond and make a suggestion. Some of our customers have used sand but those using it for making multiple items find it is generally not necessary when the PVC pipe is heated properly using the PVC Bendit.

Typically, we do not sell our creations made during demonstrations. I will still ask our owner for you to see what he thinks... However, if it is something you are interested in (and perhaps you would like to make more to sell for yourself), look us up at www.pvcbendit.com and order a Bendit!

Unfortunately, the owner would not like to sell the heart. Please do check out our site in case you are still interested in making your own using one of our Bendits. We would appreciate your business. :)

Thank you for your kind words.

No, unfortunately. We only manufacture the PVC Bendit tool, not the PVC itself. If you are interested in pipe that has already been bent, visit our site and click on "Distributors." They may offer what you are looking for...
