Evening All,

We've just moved into gas boilers (after years doing gas) and are currently tooling up. On our first install we had problems bending the 10mm plastic coated, white pipe. Possibly because of the sub-zero conditions the covering shattered when we bend it by hand. It measures 12mm (exterior diameter). I was wondering if I can buy an interior bending spring for 10mm or 12mm exterior spring. What do all you old hands use?

Many Thanks,

Jock
 
12mm bender but you need to heat the covering up with a hair dryer in cold temps as it breaks as you’ve found out

I have a rems swing set that goes from 12-32mm for my mlcp
