An apparatus is provided for heating thermoplastic pipe in the field, including a container for receiving the pipe and a conduit communicating with the container for routing hot exhaust gases from an internal combustion engine into the container to heat the pipe for bending. Interchangeable templates to facilitate the bending of large and small schedule pipe. A diffuser is provided in the container to disperse the hot gases evenly around the pipe to promote uniform bending of same. Apparatus is insulated enabling faster bending and the ability to handle the apparatus during use.
