    Alternate angle for PVC drain
    I am replacing som old black soil line with PVC, but I'm having a hard time to get the right angle I need to locate the toilet where I want. A 30 degree is too much one way and a 22.5 is too much the other. Are there any tricks to bend PVC or alter the angle?

    No bending PVC drain but by lengthening or shortening the pipe you should be able to connect. Try working backwords. Lay your pipe that connects to the closet bend and slip on the 30 or the 22.5, lay the next pipe right next to it and see where it would need to be cut.

    Hi guys!

    Actually, if you use a painter's paint stripping heat gun and you are careful not to burn the PVC (bad fumes here) you can bend PVC pipe a little... ;)

    If you want to discuss the technique let me know, OK?
