Hi Vermelho,

What type of a bend are you trying to make? If its a 90 degree bend you might want to consider cutting and joining the two pipes using a connector and soldering the pipes together.

If its flexible 10mm pipe your using you won't need a pipe bender as this type of pipe can bent in to a circular shape by using something like a paint cannister, corny keg or a pipe filled with sand as a form around which you can bend the pipe. Trick is to go slowly and resist the temptation to rush it.

I used 10mm piping previously to create a home made immersion chiller and used 90 degree connectors to add additional straight pieces of pieces of pipe to the coil. Basically I have two straight pieces of pipe that are turned by 90 degrees to connect to a short and a long piece of pipe. The short piece is again connected by a 90 degree connector to the top of the coil. The long piece of pipe is then connected by another 90 degree connector at the bottom of the coil.
