Default Flexible flush pipe

Don't know if this would work or not - how about heating up the flush
pipe with a heat gun / over a gas cooker flame and bending it to the
required "S" shape and allowing to cool?

Not sure what plastic these pipes are made of mind. IIRC it must be a
thermoplastic rather than a thermoset. They are quite cheap even from
B&Q so if you balls a few up, no major tragedy.

Another bodger's idea I'm afraid.


Ive bent plastic pipes many times by heating them with a hot air gun ,
if you do it carefully and move the heat around the a bit it works
great. Iv' done it many times on waste pipes when you just need a
slight bend and cant use a fitting, its not a bodge its a "trade tip".
