How bendable is the hose? I need to make small radius 1-3 inches.

It's pretty stiff hose for fuel injection systems. I don't have any laying around, I bought a piece to relocate the fuel filter on my TL1000R. What I do recall is that for that small of a radius it will probably kink.

its about 1-1/2" inch, however they can bend so you can make the bigger or smaller.

I've used it for soft drawn copper up to 7/8", and 3/4" thinwall aluminum with success. The bending collars are made of heavy plastic and stood up to the copper and aluminum. You may be able to bend thinwall stainless but due to the hand actuated ratchet and plastic collars anything larger than 1/2" would be too much stress.

It is rigid and won't bend. They make a filter that looks like a large toilet scrub brush. That might be your best bet.

the outside diameter of the hose is 7/8 inch. at the end of the fitting it is reduced down to 3/16. it has a fitting at both ends, you can shorten it but you won't have the fitting anymore. it is welded plastic.

It's not bendable its super solid. It was hard to get it into the soil but mine was bone dry dirt.

Only bend the coil. There's no way it would ever reach the bottom of the sink. It really just offers mobility to spray at various angles vs a true extension hose. Hope that helps.

I had this hose in a straight line. I think it would have kinked if I tried to turn circles with it. I also have a round soaker hose which I am able to circle around plants. I like it a bit better.

I have no experience attempting to bend it, but I imagine that you could bend it. It wouldn't be easy to bend and it would be even less easy to unbend.

The tubing is quite rigid. It does not bend or kink easily. I don't have the means to measure a quantifiable quantity to rigidity, but it definitely would take some effort to bend.

the hose may bend ok, you'll have to try and see. The lines are typically aluminum, you may be able to bend them some to get clearance. And NO the can will bleed off in time it will not last 6 months when pierced.

Yes, the soaker hose can bend. You can lay it out straight, in a curve, or in a circle.

I cannot see that the strip can be bent at a true 90 with some radius to the bend. No, it cannot be cut and soldered, only cut to desired length. Plan on some radius...probably about 1"?

a short , 3 inch long , 3/4 inch heater hose will collapse if bent very much.use a molded 3/4 inch diameter thermostat bypass hose instead .

If you are needing to make the turn in less than a 2 foot radius, I would put in an elbow. I've had to dig up several and do just that on my 5000' of drip line.

I had to twist the hose as it was inserted to get it to ADVANCE through the bend in the faucet base. I hope this helps.

I would say not. It is difficult to do very small areas. It does not bend that small.
