To confine the heat, cover thispart of the pipe with a piece of sheet iron, or a shovel, if more con-venient. See to it that the pipe does not become overheated. When it becomes sufficiently hot, the weight of the overhangingpipe will cause it to bend. With care and a little experience, sharpright-angle bends can be easily and neatly made in this manner. When heated, brass becomes very brittle, and it should not beremoved, therefore, until somewhat cooled. If the overhanging end is too short to provide sufficient weightto cause the pipe to bend, a weight may be attached to the pipe.
