How to Bend PVC-without heat

[Pierre C Belarge]

How many times have we heard that electricians can figure out just about anything...
I say this yesterday and thought it was pretty clever. (bending PVC without heating it)

Notice how wet everything is, thats right, even us inspectors will get wet...okay we only get wet when we want good pictures :grin:

This is like a CSI episode .....what tool was used to make those marks?

I think they were manufactured on it, and it doesn't even appear to be PVC conduit, PVC rain drain maybe????

Those marks are from the heating elements in a Greenlee heat blanket that was left on the pipe waaaaaay too long.

Ah.... You are corrrrect SIR!

That was obviously heated. I am confused.

Unlike the hotbox, which would come out like a burnt marshmallow... :grin:

That may just be true, it does look like a blanket pattern.
I will be back on that job in a few weeks. I will take a closer look. The first look I got, I thought it looked as though those marks were scored.
