This month's Tel's Tip.

Ever been about to fit some pvc conduit and found you've not got your bending spring?????

Panic not.

Cuts 4 pieces of 10mm GN/Y singles to be long enough to go past where you want the bend. insert into tube , warm tube with hair dryer or friction, bend over knee or whatever method you prefer. remove bits of cable. Job done. ( this is for 20mm tube. work it out yourself for 25mm ).
 
Not impressed an elbow and a bend, having an off day??
Can't remember when I last used an elbow.
 
Why did it need a bend, could the vertical not have been shortened for a 90?
Not questioning your experience Tel, you've got 65 years experience on me!
 
nope.due to where existing cable exited the house wall, vertical tube was too close to corner to make a 90 bend,

I get it, I thought that bend was going down but it's angle in. Many apologies.
 
the vertical tube is literally only 2" from the corner. the bend is totally horizontal, just a kick out from the wall.
 
2" where the elbow is next that big blob of cement. more like 3" further up.and it's the brickwork that's out, not the tube :)
 
Only having a jest Tel, must admit I was never great with steel tube but I got by but with plastic I can loop the loop with no manufactured bends.
