Re: How to bend waste pipe?

message from Hepworth Plumbing Products Team on 21 May 2004
Although it is possible to bend waste pipe using heat, it is not
recommended as it can affect the long term performance of the pipe.

There are a number of flexible waste connectors and flexible waste
pipes available which are designed to cope with the situation
described.

Hepworth supply HepFlex waste pipe and connectors:-

Alternatively there are adjustable bends such as Screwfix item 12007
(not Hepworth):-

Or you can use a piece of aquarium flexible piping and a couple of jubilee
clips. This stuff is available in quite a range of IDs and as it is twin
wall and designed for pressure operation is very useful for waste functions
which need a lot of movement.

Surely that doesn't have the appropriate BS numbers for waste systems.

Can this be used like the 22mm flexible waste pipe used in the USA for
macerators ? If so can you get it in longer (25m) lengths ?

Never understood why it isn't available here.
