SPRING TUBE BENDERS

Economical tools for hand-bending of soft aluminum

and copper tubing to any shape without collapsing

walls.

Insert one end of the copper tubing into the mouth of the spring bender, as far down as it will go. Now twist with all your might!

There is no easy way for the novice to guide the spring bender so as to curve the copper tubing in a precise manner. It takes practice to get the tubing to bend the way you want it to.

Steel Spring Tubing Benders are a simple and effective means of bending thin-wall tubing without crimping or collapsing the pipe.

Bending a Pipe:
Note: General recommends using one bender over the tube and an additional bender inside the tube. Remember that the inner spring will need to be smaller in diameter than the outer spring.

1. Slide tubing bender spring over the tube.

2. If available, slide 2nd tubing bender spring inside the tube.

3. Holding the spring and tube firmly in both hands, bend the tube to the desired angle, applying equal pressure with both hands.

4. To release the spring, you may need to over-bend the tube slightly before bending it back to the desired angle. This will help to unbind the spring.

5. For the outer spring, twist bender to expand the spring and then pull.

6. For the inner spring, twist bender to contract the spring and then pull.
