Oh, I can just bend the pipe myself.

When I first got started on my custom water circuit I figured it would be easy to just bend the pipe myself and I wouldn't need any extra fittings. Guess who was wrong! This guy. Trying to get the perfect curves in stiff pipes is no easy feat, especially when you're using a hair dryer as a makeshift heat gun and putting on oven mitts after burning your fingers a few times because you've decided to close the spot you want keep. tried to heat it up and give it the perfect bounce for those luscious natural curls that would make it stand out from the crowd. Don't even get me started measuring the pipe. Measure once twice, cut my ass off! I've measured 6 times and still ended up with a useless pile of junk with amazing hair (yes, my hair dryer grows hair on inanimate objects, but that doesn't matter) after learning that heated plastic stretches when flexed. After a full day of tubing surgery and a language the kids next door probably shouldn't know by now, I decided to buy a couple of these handy little fittings and in 1 hour my water circuit was complete and I was ready to explain the neighbors that the fight they heard was between me, a hair dryer and a plastic hose.
