How you ever seen 3” PVC Pipe Heated up and Bent Manually? Father and Son Electricians do, Thoughts?
What happens here
The video begins by demonstrating the process of creating the first 90-degree bend in a 3-inch PVC pipe. The PVC pipe is carefully fed into a specialized 1000-degree hot box, where it is rotated to ensure even heating until it becomes pliable. A helper assists in rotating the pipe and keeping it straight as it heats. Once heated, the pipe is quickly removed from the hot box, and a wooden bend template is used to form a precise 90-degree angle. The pipe is held against the template until it cools and retains its shape.
Goal: Create a single 90-degree bend in 3-inch PVC pipe.
