Have 90 degree one inch diam. grey plastic tubing 90 deg. bend.

Want to bend it some more; hopefully to 180 degrees (or close to
that) to make shape of a 'J'.

Any suggestions. Heat gun? Flame? Oven? Also will it tend to flatten
as metal pipe does when bent further?

If this doesn't work could I use something else; that newer PEX
water piping for example?

Help/advice appreciated. TIA

can't you buy an elbow at the local HW store?

Not quite sure what you mean by an elbow?
This 90 degree is at moment about 9 inches across its outer tips.
If it can bend some more the tips will come in to perhaps less than 5
inches and perhaps be almost parallel at 180 degrees input to output
to each other Two 90s would be way too big!.
Just imagine a large J like this.
