Letimgo,
I've got a couple of odd sized reducers which might be what you need. I'm not going to be using them so if you want to give me some diameter measurements I'll have a look and you can have one.
PM me if you are interested OK.

My slide valve leaks water but if I ever remove filtration I just Un ship the pioework near the filter , fit a pipe bung in the pipework , get everything in place , remove the bung and fit the filter. Bungs are only a fiver. I use a bung in the drum inlet if I want to do anything.

I managed to bend a little of my pressure pipe using the heat gun method. It takes a far bit of heating on the 4", but it does work. Be careful though, I found that sometimes if you overheat the pipe without realising, it can go very floppy! I suspect the 110mm waste in the picture is much easier as the pipe thickness is that much less.
I would agree with others to keep rubber boots after valves if you can. I do however have some 90 bends in rubber before the valves in my filter pit to deal with some flexibility that I needed. These are however only used on my skimmer 4" pipes, so they are easily closed off with a stand pipe if needed.
