Straighten RO/DI line?

Hey guys...so I want to straighten ro/di line to use as a drip acclimation with a high speed union ball valve to control the drip...can I use boiling water or hot water for this...I need the line to be as straight as possible, tank is about 5 feet high from the top where the line would come down from into the bucket...if I cant get the line pretty generally straight I don't want to waste my time or money....

I had to straighten some hose once and heated it the oven to about 200 degrees. Then kept it straight until it cooled. Worked well.
