Bending J or U-tubes
Hi all,
I'm converting a few tanks to use overflow boxes and the end result will be a rack of glass tanks, serviced by recirculating manifold.
Besides using PVC pipes and elbow joints, I'd want to use J or U tubes and it doesn't matter if these are clear acrylic or grey PVC. Outer diameter is ideally 1in. or 20mm.
I'm also contemplating the purchase of a PVC pipe bender but still, it's only good up to 90 degrees, not a U shape.
Anyone here good with making U tubes? I tried but ended up with lots of kinks and folds at the inner bend. Ditto using springs and salt.
Suggestions?? I really need to cut back on time spent in maintenance!
I'm back & keeping 'em fingers wet,
Ronnie Lee
