Electricians use bending springs, available in different sizes at
electrical wholesales, inside the pipe at the point to be bent so that
the pipe does not kink. I have done this using PVC pipe. Ok to about 70
degrees - you can go all the way to 90 but not good for pulling wires
over long distances. 

Good for creating sweep bends.
