1367060 2014-02-07 17:59:00 That size of pipe is most likely held at plumbing supply places.

An alternative is to try TradeMe with the assorted keywords of Conduit, Pipe, Tube.

I get the feeling this is for cabling, in which case abrupt bends are undesirable, with an arching bend of 20cm radius being more desirable, particularly if for fibre.

Prices can vary widely, due to some pipes made for high pressures, others for waste products, others for low pressure storm water applications are generally lighter and cheaper.

If it's for cabling, give some thought to the slow but inevitable process of water condensing out of the air in the pipe and pooling around your cables.

Its a harness for a boat retrieval system that is held afloat by pool noodles slid onto the pipe and pushed into position by a second boat.
Different design but kinda like this.

+1 and also all the trade supply places. In Hamilton that would be J.A. Russell, Mastertrade, Ideal electrical. I think they are nationwide chains so you should have local branches.
Or just go to Bunnings, the pipe is pretty cheap and you don't seem to need much.

1367067 2014-02-11 00:35:00 he bends may not need the expense of molded fittings. In this case you might find some carefull application of heat, and some bending achieves the same results. Paul.Cov (425)
