So, for those who have no common sense and who are so scared : please don't use nor drink water, whose scientific names are also di-hydrogen monoxide and mono-oxygen di-hydride.

It is well known as being very dangerous. Among the risks are : an excess can cause landslides, it dissolves rocks, perforates stone and metals, and also clouds the pastis. Drinking too much of it can lead to an edema.

That said, whatever the liquid, gas, or material is, always wear googles, use gloves put a breathing mask and avoid breathing the vapors or fumes. I assume that any adult would know this but, you're right, a reminder may be useful.

In addition, don't cross the streets. Finally lots of people die in their bed. A word of advice: don't go to bed. Keep sitting instead :-)

Bull....
Overheating / burning it is a problem you want to avoid for more and bigger
reasons than some fumes.

Heat it by immersion in boiling water.

Ventilation is also welcome, always, for many reasons as well.

So yeah, don't lock yourself up in an airtight room to burn some PVC. That
would be just as stupid as it sounds.

Be sensible, the rest is fearmongering.

Careful when heating PVC... It gives off nasty fumes

In addition, if you want to restrain the diameter, use a glass jar into

also be

heated otherwise it will be difficult to restrain a plastic tube being

the cold tube during the operation.

I used these two methods a lot of times and it always worked. If the

result

isn't what you wanted, heat it again and it will almost recover its

original

shape :-)

It also works well on nylon tubing. I purchased 3/8" tube for my

compressed air

distribution and it happened to be 10mm. My fittings were 3/8". Instead

of

wasting time with a new order, I restrained the nylon tube using the

second

method. No leak @ 8 bars for at least12 years.

Electrical grade PVC pipes have even longer radius sweep ell's if you have the room...

They can even be 'STREET' style and can be had at Home Depot and Lowes, (and others in your area).
