Bending CPVC

wrote: How tough to bend CPVC with heat? I have to bend an 18" radius for a project. Any problem? Tips, suggestions? Yes, it can be done. I don't redcall the specific heat but back in the M.E.N. days before they went yuppie there was an article using antifreeze to get the temperature up to the required level. Probably also need a form to bend it around, i.e., not freehand. Google might turn up something. Harry K |

Bending CPVC
There was an article about bending PVC, filled with sand,
vented caps, etc. After the reminder to use preformed turns if possible. Along with the reminder that burst strength would be reduced. On Mar 2, 10:20 pm, "Harry K" wrote: Yes, it can be done.
