As a plumber with 35 years experience I would strongly advise against this sort of fixing. Not only does it look very rough it also weakens the wall of the pipe. Do it right and use the cheap elbow fittings. It will save you time in the long run.

[@raedalhazmi6448]

It is not practical. It consumes time, which costs more than the materials. Also, it is too risky to cause leakage. Quality + manpower time vs little save in materials. Not worth it .. dump idea

That's exactly what I need: four tools (pipe bender, heat gun, lighter, hacksaw), risk burning or melting the pipe, scorching my hands while bending the hot pipe, more stress on my hands joints, risk cracking the pipe and of course, getting the wrong measurements since you can only do this by the seat of your pants.

@@Ariesdrone603Sorry this made you troubled please reboot.

[@BlondieSL]

Jason, actually, that is a very VERY poor idea! There are several problems with this idea that many if not most people do not realize. First, heating and bending the plastic pipe WEAKENS the walls of the pipe. This will cause premature failures in the future. Secondly, those kinks at the bends will cause vortexes in the water flow as well and inhibit good flow. Elbows are not expensive at all. If you have to spend $4 to $8 to do it right, why not do it right to begin with> Also, this video is totally moot! Why would anyone put a pipe across the floor, only to dip it down into a trench like that. Either the pipe is below the floor or it's not. Just follow the contour. In other words, Jason, this is a bad BAD idea! That being said, if using copper tubing (on the roll) and using a proper mechanical bender tool, then this can be done without heat and without crimps.

Ah yes, weakening the walls of the pipe so it will burst and you will need to buy everything again and redo it using elbows anyway. Great trick if you have a lot of free time, the pipe bursting is not a problem, and you have money to spare!

[@goldenlion7147]

bending pipes work on electrical application because the pipes act as an insulation for wires, it isn't in constant pressure. Water lines however always has pressure in them that's why the pipes and connection should be strong that's why the pipes used for water lines are thicker than those used for electrical purposes.

[@jckdnls9292]

Show me the data that says it can't hold the water pressure anymore ?

[@bryanreese907]

That type of bending will not work in any electrical applications.

[@nycmichaelg]

This video makes perfect sense if played backwards. Just change the red X’s to green check marks ✅

[@richardchambers256]

You're still using 90° bends which reduces water flow and pressure as well. Plus you're weakening the pipe.

[@sxewhodey]

Wow, I can see this passing an inspection :)

[@oldironsides3992]

As a plumber the reason this is not used is due to manufacturers installation instructions. This is not an approved repair. Also the bends are not smooth and would cause water turbulence in the pipe. The 90s are approved and far simpler for installation.

[@comesthru]

What a waste of time. First job was way better. You have too much time on your hands.

[@oldsecrets11]

Thank you for your visit and comments 😊

[@andrewdrozd847]

It's nice to use lateral thinking to solve a problem, and good job on that first bend, but if I had that installed on my property, I would be furious. Putting aside the valid concerns everyone has stated about thermal treatment like that weakening the mechanical properties of the pipe, those kinks would guarantee they will be the point of failure. Were I to see that on a job I was supervising, I would get a doublejack and mangle those pipes an obscene distance back and say "fix it." That was how l was taught to show that shortcuts are a bad idea. It's cruel and mean spirited, but it works. You get paid to do it right, and you get paid to correct yourself once. After that, you can go kick road apples.

Awesome please make more videos on what to do "or" "WHAT NOT TO DO"!!!

[@nicholaschristensen898]

This will eventually be a plumbing standard for all fields. Flow, parts cost, labor intensive. Only concern is compromising the thickness of the sidewall, which can be solved by creating specific PVC / PEX piping designed to handle the task along side a new solvent tasked with reenforing and bonding the sidewall to compensate the loss of thickeness.

[@Agrofind6161]

GOOD JOB & GOOD LUCK !

[@oldsecrets11]

[@breacher1345]

It’s worth the extra cost to do it right one time rather than have to come back and fix this leaking mess later.

[@KenFullman]

But that's almost a dollar in extra cost.

[@jaylev8674]

If the pipes already above-ground why not just keep going straight across? What is the purpose adding four 90° couplers to a pipe that could be perfectly straight? Ooh I get it, he wants to increase back pressure to increase the amperage so it cost more to run the pump and overtime will shorten the life of the motor. Oh I get it it's job security so the customer will call him back out to fix the ruptured pipe. That makes sense 😂

[@umargul5644]

Great 👍

[@AdmiralKird]

[@frikkiesmit327]

Just use the elbows you had in 1st place dude. Pipe bender spring has its place but not for here. If in an emergency scenario where its maybe late , shops are closed and you have power, heatgun, lighter and spring and need water then your method is a tempory fix oh and if one has extra lenght pvc pipe. Otheriwse use elbows

[@goldenlion7147]

[@mistervacation23]

[@MarcosABujan]

Exactly what you propose is what should not be done... USING WELL SEALED ELBOWS IS THE CORRECT THING. That arrangement has more risk of chipping the pipe. If it's for watering plants, ok,... but NEVER FOR A HOME.

[@nickybritain3661]

I think I’ll stay with the elbows. Quicker and more reliable, professional too! 🤪

[@alwaleedalbabtain7802]

It is good that you have problem solving skills. However, heating and bending can seriously weaken material’s mechanical properties. You might mitigate this by inserting a larger thickness pipe for bending just to compensate the weakness generated by heating and bending. But then higher costs must be considered due to the increase in thickness. I’m sure you can figure out the optimum point.

[@oldsecrets11]

[@ethandirickson8497]

​@Jck Dnls what he was saying is that the pipe structural rating for the amount of pressure the pipe can hold is now undetermined due to heat stress and stretching of the material. All the pipes rating are now void. The pipe may or may not fail, but that is the risk you would take.
