It was bent after being heated with a plumbers torch and then put into the bulkhead (friction fit) then adjusted and held in place for about a minute to cool. Took about 10 minutes total. It kept its shape and diameter.
I've previously tried doing this by heating the section in the oven, this way is much faster and more precise.
