Hello all,

I’m having a real time finding this in Toronto and surrounding. I have found a couple places but it needs to be special ordered and takes over a week. Anyone know a place that stocks bends or can make me some bends on the spot. I stress it must be Mild Steel and not SS or aluminum.

Thanks,  
Andrew.

AFAIK, there is only one mandrel pipe bender in Ontario and quite possibly Canada for that matter.

Chances are, you’ll have to order pieces from a US supplier.

Or just soft bend the pipes as most places will do this without resorting to crushed bends.

SS/AL/Ti is the only way to go.

I ended up getting SS bends. Mild is over priced.
