Use a hair dryer to heat up a spot on the PVC pipe and slowly apply pressure on the area you want to bend. Once you’ve made a bend to the desired angle you can remove the auger. This technique is ideal for maneuvering PVC around corners and over other pipes, while remaining flush to the wall.

How do you make PVC bends?

Use a hair dryer to heat up a spot on the PVC pipe and slowly apply pressure on the area you want to bend. Once you’ve made a bend to the desired angle you can remove the auger. This technique is ideal for maneuvering PVC around corners and over other pipes, while remaining flush to the wall.

How hot do you need to get PVC to bend it?

The temperature range for bending PVC is between 170 degrees and 220 degrees, with 170 being perfect for long, sweeping arcs and 220 allowing you to make tight curves.
