    You drive right into it. When you shape the PVC you can make it any width you want.

          PVC T fittings to not allow continuous lengths of tube to be run through them, they're joints, independent pieces are inserted into each side of the T. Doesn't matter if they're curved or not.

              exactly but for some reason I thought that he had bent 1 solid piece of PVC on each end as stated above. Lol confusing now it makes sense. I bought all these supplies for my Atlantic Tug a while ago and will try to put together soon. The Hot Bends make it look better thanks for the tip.

                Sorry should have been more clear. After you make the bends you want you then cut the bend in the center and place in the tee. You do this on both halves and then join the two halves to each other.

                      Thanks! Going to test it out tomorrow. Hoping I won't have to use it too often...

                        Borrow or rent a kayak. Everything else is questionable method, especially on a river.
