Will this bend sharply without kinking or will i need to use plastic elbows to make a sharp bend ?

In my experience it will kink when bent sharply. The tubing is somewhat soft.

Hello, Tom from the ShowerAuthority team here. You can bend the curtain rod profile 90 degree as long as you maintain a minimum of a 6 inch radius. It is helpful to bend the profile around some round object and make "babysteps" while bending. The profile will spring back a little and it's best to do it in small increments until you reach the final shape.

If it is considered soft tubing it should bend it. It will not bend hard tubing. Soft tubing comes in a role, hard tubing comes in strait lengths.

Yes you can bend the handle with no problem at all. The wood handle also stays cool.

I would not bend it. It is flexible but fragile. The base is pretty weak. Mine was broken upon delivery because of the way it was bent in the mailing envelope, which wasn't particularly sharp.

Ray in MO. I have in use several hundred feet of this product. It's great for straight/flat use but not good for turns and bends and I'm speaking of sharp 90 degree bends/turns. I do all my gardening in giant pots and have them set side to side/end to end so that all hose runs in a straight line. You will have the kink problem with any hose. The water will flow through the kinks but at a greatly reduced volume and pressure. Best Wishes.

I wouldn't advise bending the wires. That would weaken the welds, where they're connected to the frame. Proceed at your own risk.

NO! very easy to bend or break. You have to "mop gently" - and when you connect the thin pieces, be very careful to thread them and tighten slowly - easily stripped.

Yes you can bend it. If you use a needle nose pliers you can bend a very small radius. It has no spring tention.

No. This will not bend conduit / hollow metal pipe. It will only bend solid metal.

Basic fiberglass rod so not really designed for sharp bends. You might get way with it if the ell is a large enough radius- say 18" or so.

The soaker hose is about as flexible as a garden hose. It will handle curves without trouble, but something like a sharp 90 degree bend may cause it to kink.

I just bent a sample piece, it will do it, if properly adjusted. But if thats a thickness you will bend a lot a press brake may be a better option. I will add that I have been very happy with this brake. Its perfect for the home shop and I have done some nice work for my race car with it!

It shouldn't curve. It may have gotten bent. If it has only a slight bend you can try straightening it as close as you can, then installing it. The clamps should force it to sit flat.

It is a 90 degree bend. I have a case and they work fine together, but my case is not extremely thick.

Very flexible. You can bent this without problem. You can do this practically 180 degree
