Hey,
Where is the best place to go to get 6"/150mm 90 degree PVC bends.
I went into bunnings and the largest they had was 4".
Any help would be much appreciated. smile.gif

I hate to sound rude, but why post if what you're saying has already been brought up in this thread? You're just repeating what's already been said.

I remember a tutorial a while ago that mentioned it is possible to bend the PVC to suit your application using a heat gun and sand.
Memory going soft here, but apparently...
cap one end of the pipe, fill it with sand, and then heat (carefully) the area you want to bend, and slowly bend it manually.
The sand was used to keep the shape to allow the same surface area internally, and not just kink it.
The heating method should be the same as for flaring the end of the pipe too.

Anyone else remember this method?
