the thin wall tubing bent in kinks for me also,the thick wall stuff WON'T kink.
A frying pan with 2" of water boiling helps also,I mainly heated the two ends and curved them,also cut the gripper rings off the T connector, a slight inward angle on the ends helps also

Daddynobucks Reviewed by Daddynobucks on . the tubing in my bucket? help. so i'm trying to use poly tubing in my 5g bucket ( at least i think it is, if that's even what it's called). i had 1/2 pvc, saw a cople pics of set ups with the tubing wraped around the side of the bucket. my promblem is how to wrap it around without getting kinks in it. the tubing i have is was laying in the backyard for awhile so i don't know if it's just to old. and now after searching, i can't find the pics of it to see if i'm missing something. so what i'm i doing wrong?
