The PVC Pipe is placed in the BendStation as it is used to cover and keep the heat in the PVC pipe while heating up and bending. Note: The original BendStation was Johns Manville Micro Lok fiberglass pipe insulation and it is available for vendors in most areas. You will need to source 3, 4, 6" pipe insulation when bending these larger diameter pieces of PVC pipe. It is available from Grainger.com.
Keep the PVC uniformly warm using the BendStation while heating. The PVC Bendit reaches temperatures exceeding 900 degrees F. PVC Pipe is bendable around 210 degrees F. You can purchase a Variac Transformer, around $60 to $100, is available on Amazon. Using one allows you to control how hot the PVC Bendit gets. See our accessories section for the correct unit.
