How to bend galvanised metal?

[Byrne1]

For a diy project to hang on lights for an aquarium will the store bend the end of this galvanised pipe about 90 degrees angle. Or do I need to purchase a pipe bender?

Hi @Byrne1,

Unfortunately, our stores do not offer pipe-bending services.

At that thickness, you should be able to just bend it with your hands. Try clamping it in place with a Craftright 300mm 2 Piece Quick Action Clamp and bending it with your hands, using a Haron 19mm - 3/4" Bending Spring to prevent the pipe from developing kinks.

Let me know what you think and if you have further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

Hi @Byrne1 

I would love to see photos of how you get on with this. Success or failure.

Cheers.
