General Outdoor Furnace Discussion / Rehau underground pipe is almost impossible the bend

« on: October 30, 2019, 02:23:50 PM »

Whats the secret to bending/forming underground insulated pipe?  I am trying to get my Rehau pipe buried before the snow starts flying.   And yes, I realize I picked the perfect time of year to get this done.  I am a little over 3 feet deep at the furnace connection but I still cant get the angle I need, to come straight up out of the ground and into the stove.  I stripped 3 ft of the casing and foam off the end to get more flexibility.  It did help some but its still like wrestling an alligator.  Do I need to go deeper at the stove?  If I use the ratchet strap method, is it possible to crack the casing or separate the foam from the casing if its bent too much?
