A trick I thought of for making a bend inside a wall when you don’t have access. I trimmed the end of the pex pipe so that it was a flexible flat end, bent it back so that when I pushed it up into the wall I could lead the end near my ‘out’ hole which was perpendicular to it. Then using needle nose pliers I grabbed the flat end through a small 3/4 inch hole and pulled the pipe through. I had originally planned to drill a larger hole from below and go into the wall with a sharkbite 90 fitting on the pipe already but it turns out I did not have enough room from below to get anything more than the 1/2 inch pipe up into the wall. This worked very well for me. I hope it helps someone else. How to make tight 90 bend in wall.
