pippa Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 I need two 1/2" conduit pipes bent and Home depot doesn't have them, well at least not for rent. Working on my new light fixture ;0) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadySaber Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 lol I totally need to buy another one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pippa Posted May 29, 2015 Author Share Posted May 29, 2015 Share the love - pipe bender edition? :0D Seriously though I should have grabbed one at the store and used it there but I wasn't sure of the measurements. Dang. I may be bending pipe in the mall 205 parking lot tomorrow if all else fails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisQ Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 (edited) If the pipe is cheap enough to just go in a buy 2 new ones and bend it in the aisle? Even with a little secret squirrel action, they might frown a bit on you bringing in the previously bought pipe to do it Edited May 29, 2015 by ChrisQ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisQ Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Lowes and Home depot need a pipe bending station This need pops up all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saltwater newbie Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 I have a 1/2" pipe bender but I won't be coming down to Portland till next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack-the-reefer Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Just go take one off the shelf and bend it in the aisle at home depot. No one will say anything to you. I used their saw to cut mine, then bent it with a pipe bender off the shelf. No one seems to care too much about what you do as long as you aren't causing a ruckus. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pippa Posted May 29, 2015 Author Share Posted May 29, 2015 (edited) Yea, I would have used one in the store but like I said I doped out on the measurements... was hoping to find one close by. Ah well... I will return what I bought and buy again tomorrow. Edited May 29, 2015 by pippa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackice Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Just buy the bender use it then return it after your done lowes has a great return policy. I bought 4 55g trash cans when I setup my tank used them to make water and hold rock and after I was done just took them back and got my CASH back! Also did this with a bunch of pex tools when I replumped are shower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LadySaber Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 That's awesome to know but what is OSH? I was thinking the very same thing. I think I will need to have some bent for the Nuvo Im working on. I have the stock light running over it right now since I havent moved the OR over yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saltwater newbie Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 I can bring my bender down Wednesday for whoever wants to barrow it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pippa Posted May 31, 2015 Author Share Posted May 31, 2015 I went over to Orchard Hardware on Halsey and they were able to put the bends in for me, although it's not something they "normally" offer according to the clerk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
