If you had something flexible but solid in cross section but somewhat heat resistant (maybe a pool noodle wrapped in foil tape) to put on the inside AFTER you heat, but BEFORE you bend, that would help keep the pipe from collapsing, and even out the bend radius. My 2 cents, thanks for the video.
@@JohnThePoolExpertGuy the conduit is like 25’ long and I’m looking to bend it back straight. The curve is only like 10-15 degrees over that 25’. Seems like it should be pretty easy aside from just digging it all up initially

I have a 3 metre pvc pipe that has not been used for 2 years and not its kinda bent. I want to do hydroponics so the pvc pipe needs to be straight. Can i use this technique with a gas torch?
Hopefully your not a true contractor or professional wouldn’t. Haven’t seen any of the real ones use anything but fittings on a pool build. Keep that for the non jobs that’s your own. Be a professional and use the fittings. It’s all paid for in the agreed upon an signed contract of the job. What your doing is just cutting corners
Lol , I worked in a pipe factory, we heat the pipe up to make the bends , we do it in an oven style system but his method is just as good . We charged $22.00 more for bends , you can do the same yourself for almost nothing .!
Thx for short, direct video. Need to splice sewer line that is not a prefab bend, i.e.: 22.5 or 45 bend. This is encouraging.
I need to remove a 2m long pvc pipe encased in a concrete floor slab. How do I soften the pipe so I can pull it out once it softens?
Old school... love it👍

Yes that works I'm also seen people pack it with sand and other things........ whatever works!
I feel like its not worth the effort
Always that one guy, 😂 who thinks outside of the box 👍
if i just want to bend a couple of thin pieces at 45 degree angles for a volleyball spike trainer, could I use a heat gun?
Yes a heat gun will work just fine
Thank you for the video! Will it stay flexible when it slowly cools (without the use of water)?
Yes its the same either way.
@@JohnThePoolExpertGuy Thank you, John! 👍
OK. I've got bent pvc pieces that I want to reuse. How would you straighten a bent piece out?
Basically the same way but be careful gluing fittings to pipe that has already been heated because it shrinks
Can I do this if there’s a wire already in the conduit?
Yes it should work fine

Can i get that inspected if its septic drain
Usually it's fine with inspectors but it depends on where you are
Whats the attachment called?
I think it is called a weed burning torch. You can buy them at Home Depot

What happens if you burn it just a little bit; is it still ok to use it underground?
It should be fine
@@JohnThePoolExpertGuy Thank you.
can u bend 180° of 2inches size of pvc pipe?
Sure that's how we make spas round
Pretty sure if you cap the ends it works faster
It doesnt
have you ever tried this on 3 inch schedule 80
Yes it takes a lot longer
Can i use a gas torch for this?

@@JohnThePoolExpertGuy thank you for the reply sir :)
Just do it.
You didn't show how to bend that thickness without kinks. It did kink on you once.
Oh dear - I seem to have misplaced my industrial grade flamethrower!
By the time your finished heating up that pipe, ive already glued 100 ft of 2” pipe

Shut up you obviously have no idea what you’re talking about. Ever heard of TDH? Probably not.
