That is a good idea! I use inexpensive 4" drain pipe as conduit and no
sweeping fittings are available. I used two 45's instead of a single 90
degree fitting but it still creates a lot of resistance.

Gentle turn radius sweeps can be made for 3 or 4 inch diameter PVC DYI using
a heat gun (cheap one from Harbor Freight) by heating sand filled PVC
conduit. The sand keeps the PVC conduit from collapsing and kinking and is
easily removed when done. Do not heat near the end or continue the bend too
close to the end as it can distort the shape and make it not fit into a
fitting.
