running pvc undergound wth sight bend

ugabulldog · Apr 19, 2014

I am going to run plumbing and electric in same trench. In order to do so I have to put slight curve in trench (they don't enter building at same location) Rather then use a 22 elbow, is it ok to bend 1" pvc with trench? Thanks

Yes especially if you heat it first. Where would you find a 1 inch 22 1/2 bend anyway? Make the bend as gentle as possible.

You can not heat and bend a drainage pipe, be it copper or pvc. it is in the code.

The way the question is posed, namely a 1" pipe, the assumption is that it is a water line.
