A bend fixture for bending a medium pipe comprises a body part comprising a tubular support to receive a section of a medium pipe therein, an inner bend support to allow the medium pipe to be bent about the inner bend support, and an outer bend support to support the medium pipe from an outer side of the bend to keep the medium pipe bent. The outer bend support is coupled to the body part via a hinge and is turnable between an open position to allow the section of the medium pipe in substantially straight state to be inserted into the tubular support, and a closed position to keep the medium pipe bent about the inner bend support. The bend fixture comprises a pipe coupling arrangement for coupling together the outer bend support, in its open position, and the medium pipe outside the section in the tubular support. |

1. A bend fixture for bending a medium pipe, the bend fixture comprising:
a body part comprising
a tubular support configured to receive a section of a medium pipe therein, andan inner bend support configured to allow the section of the medium pipe to be received in the tubular support and to be bent about the inner bend support; and an outer bend support configured to support the medium pipe, the section of the medium pipe being received in the tubular support, the medium pipe being bent about the inner bend support, from an outer side of the bend so as to keep the medium pipe bent;the outer bend support being coupled to the body part via a hinge and being turnable between an open position to allow the section of the medium pipe in substantially straight state to be inserted into the tubular support, and a closed position to keep the medium pipe, the section of the medium pipe being received in the tubular support, bent about the inner bend support;characterized in that the bend fixture comprises a pipe coupling arrangement configured to couple together the outer bend support, in its open position, and the medium pipe, the section of the medium pipe being received in the tubular support, outside a section in the tubular support such that when bending so located medium pipe by pushing or pulling it at a location outside the bend fixture, the outer bend support coupled to the medium pipe follows the medium pipe, thereby turning towards the closed position. |
