Tube sales in Temple drive Thomastown, They should have stainless mandel bends as well.

Very freindly service. Mate deals with them a lot.

I think he's referring to the bends that you buy and then weld in between sections of straight pipe.

Anyway I reckon the black rubber bends look better than steel bends, just personally, as well as being more DIY-friendly.
This is not legal advice.
