Hey, has anyone used the black cold forming bends that John Guest Speedfit supply?
Running a bathroom refurb in Speedfit. Only used it a handful of times with a previous 'builder' who believed you could twist speedfit all over the place, not pipe clip it for support and use connections like they'd gone out of fashion! So I'm trying to do a better of job of things, following JG's install guide.
I need to do some 90 deg bends from under the floorboards up to sanitary ware and was going to try these, and securing them in place (save another joint). My only question is do you have to bend the pipe with machine benders, then secure it in the cold forming bend? or can you just manipulate the pipe into the bend straight away?
I'm using BPEX 3m lengths and obviously don't want to force it/cause a kink in the pipe.
Advice much appreciated!
BTW I'm asking as I've searched JG site and the internet and can't find the answer anywhere, ...so it's probably obvious! haha.
