Hi everyone
I am going crazy trying to get 1/4 inch pipe to bend at a 90 degree angle without it crimping. I have tried a pipe bender, pipe bending springs,filling it with sand, heating it then try to bend it all of the above in one go and all with the same result: kinked bends. How can I get a 90 degree bend without the middle of the bend caving in on itself? I need to essentially make a U bend. It has to be a tube to run the power wires up through the middle
edit: forgot to mention it's brass tube Im trying to bend
