Variac Transformer for controlling current and heat in PVC Bendits

We would like to suggest the purchase of a Varianc Transformer that you can plug the PVC Bendit in to so you can control how hot the Bendit gets. After trying to get a very low cost controller we have decided the Variac is the best option. They are available on Amazon for $59 - $129 with Prime. The one pictured is a 2000 VA version and can be used with all models.

For fastest results let the PVC Bendit heat up at 115 Volts then reduce it about 50% to maintain a lower temperature.

We used a 500VA variac in our booth at the NE Spa and Pool Show in Atlantic City in January to demonstrate the 3B PVC Bendit heating 1-1/2" PVC Schedule 40 and bending it. We controlled the current at about 50% and never had a problem with over heating the pipe.

Happy Bending...
