Looking for stainless steel 'J' section

[Andrew Butler]

I found the perfect product for looping my doser pipes neatly over the rim of my aquarium but am unable to get the amount I need, it seems they might have stopped making them.
It is a stainless steel 'J' section as in the link below.
Does anyone know of a product similar or maybe even able to make some neat looking ones?

What about getting some lengths is SS tubing the right size then bend them yourself. Just fill them with sand before bending, you might get lucky and get a good bend

Swagelock benders definitively do.. But rather expensive stuff..

I think this is the whole reason for not wanting to do it myself.
Maybe I could make a jig up and try your method and that still might be an avenue I explore.
I've had a quick chat with a couple of people who might have the tooling in this country to make them for me; let's see what prices they come back with.

My DIY skills are quite good but the kind of benders @zozo talk about would only allow me to create a 'U' and not a 'J'. The 'U' I think would also be quite wide looking at micro benders.
I'd also be left with the problem that I couldn't bend the pipe leaving a short enough piece on one side so it doesn't dip into the water so would have to cut them and end up wasting a lot.

Is a J not asmaller U with one longer arm?..

Bend the U at the end of the tube..

Indeed it is!

Maybe a better explanation or even one which makes any sense would be the pictures below.........
I am trying to achieve similar to what is in the first picture; a J but with a flat section which uses 2 smaller radius bends instead of one continual bend as shown in the second picture.

Likely the Remote Control (Cars etc.) community you might find people with the tools.. Also the stainless steel tubing from 2 to 8 mm in diamter you'll find at the RC shops..

Maybe you find a kid at such a forum willing to bend it for you. Maybe even the RC supply shop owner selling you the tube..

Find something that has the profile you want to bend the pipe on, fill with sand heat the pipe up bend it to profile, remove sand, cut pipe to size debur etc and polish with wet and dry
