Has anyone done this ?.
I have a 22mm bending spring intended for 22mm copper
and it is a fairly loose fit.
I was going to heat the pipe with my hot air gun
and bend it around something round or maybe
hammer some nails into a bit of old plywood and
use them as a 90 degree guide.
I am replacing the gas pipe that was used to run
power from house to garage in 1976 with the correct
stuff, so needs a 90 degree bend at each end to fit
a metre wide path, before re-instating the path
(dug up for other reasons).

Why aren't you using SWA cable?
ahem, I guess 'cos he is "replacing the gas pipe
The cable is that 'tuf' variety, not SWA so needs a
conduit.
Believe it or not the incoming SEEboard cable is also
inside a bit of gas pipe !!. It comes in under the
storm porch, up through the slab in the front corner of
the house under the door frame, inside some gas pipe, and
then runs along the top of the slab for about 3 feet then
up the party wall and into the metal wylex meter/fuse box.
Meanwhile there is an empty 38 mm black conduit under the path
between house and garage, parallel to the actual 3/4 iron
gas pipe which is inside a length of 4 inch salt glazed
drainage pipe that was wacked inside the garage wall and outer
leaf of house. Exactly where this 38mm black conduit goes
is a mystery. It starts inside the garage about a foot down
from the top of the concrete floor (garage dpc is 3.5 brick
courses higher than the house dpc).
I suspect it terminates under where the Wylex meter/fuse box is,
but without digging through the house slab I can't think of a way
of finding out. An electricians fibreglass thingy would tell me
how long it is but not where it ends laterally.
