- Learn how to use a hand tube bender to accurately and efficiently make 90° and 180° bends in tubing. Swagelok® hand tube benders provide consistent, high-quality bends in tubing made from most materials used with Swagelok tube fittings. To complete this project, you will need a Swagelok hand tube bender (corresponding to the tubing size), a piece of tubing, and a marker (a protractor is optional). The video also covers sizes/types of tubing that can be bent, as well as verification procedures for ensuring angles.

How do I get center to center and 22 and 45 bends
Great video, on point informational and great demo.
very nice
Amazing review. 👍
If your bending a 10 or 20 foot stick of tubing and it has a lot of bends in it, it is a good idea to take a piece of tie wire and make a model that you can bend with your fingers. That will make sure you put the tubing in the bender the right way instead of bend come out upside down. We had a guy on our crew that could take out his tape measure and look up into the structure 15 or 20 feet away from where the tubing would be going, somehow get his measurements from that distance and then bend a piece of tubing haul it up into the structure to install it and it would fit like a glove. When your on a big construction site there are a lot of people that are real artists when it comes to bending tubing but I never saw anyone that could get their measurements from a distance like that.
I go to a site, it’s a large old Manor House and in there is a one pipe system in which the bulk of the pipework is 2” iron. The bends in there are incredible, hydraulically pulled to span curved bay windows, offsets and 90’s all in one piece. I’m known for my neatness/accuracy when bending copper, I used to use oxy/acetylene to manufacture loops/sets/bends on site, I learnt how to pull bends etc on an hydraulic bender during my apprenticeship but this work is something special and has probably been there 50 years. Every time I go there I just stare at them because I know just how special the guys were who did that work 👏👏👏
The site is empty now, I still do an annual boiler cert for the site so I may take a video next time to preserve it just in case the site gets demolished 😳

How does his effect the inside diameter at the bend?
The idea is that the engineers designed the tube to be bent at a radius greater than or equal to the bend radius. Inner diameter is largely unaffected. It is only when the tube is bent at smaller radii that the diameter is greatly reduced and results in a visible kink.
I need such a tool for a 7 mm copper tube. Do you have it?

Hi Mikey, The country of origin for the hand tube bender is the United States. Your local sales and service center will be happy to help answer any further questions. Contact information can be found here: www.swagelok.com/en/locate-a-sales-service-center
I'm glad to hear that they are made in the U.S.A., now I just wish they were more widely available, I don't have any service centers within hundreds of miles of me. You'd sell more if they were readily available online.

So question for any who can answer this. What is the point of using the L and R markings on the block? Personally whenever I bend tubing I choose to bend tubing like conduit I use take up and deduct methods. I’ve tried doing it this way but just don’t like the outcome of the quality of work
Hi Robert, Your local sales and service center will be able to answer your question. You can find their contact information here: www.swagelok.com/en/locate-a-sales-service-center
In this video, the L indicates the 90 degree centerline mark. If you have a leg that needs to be 5" then a 90 degree bend. You could measure 5" from the end of tube, line your mark up with the L then bend 90 degrees. Thus not having to mark or calculate takeup.
The L mark refers to an offset which was measured from left to right on the tube. The R refers to measuring your offset from right to left, also known as a reverse bend.

Actually the trade terms are "gains" and "losses", pipe can't "grow" (however, you may wanna try viagra); if anything your final overall length will be less than your original. For sizes between 3/16" (4mm) to 1/2" (12mm) tubing, a good rule of thumb is approx 1/16" (1.5mm) "loss" per 15 degrees bent successively. The most difficult length I've done was: approx 25 bends of various angles (from 15 to 120 degrees) along a 20ft length.

M'kay, I've been using Rigid hand benders for approx 20 yrs and have to say that the lever (non stationary) handle's adjustment for >90* would've been such a welcome change.... Hmmm, need to look into purchasing a set.
you will never look back. They last and perform so well with less effort.
Unless you’ve gone back to ridged for the 606 series benders, even better imo
Can this hand tube bending machine bend 360°?
You can but it's difficult.
360° without moving the tube? No. The die doesnt have the groove all the way around. Anything over 180° is almost impossible as the tube will be trapped in the bender.
Need. 25" to 1.5" hand bender please give me your needed price of my hand

ราคาเท่าไร สั่งซื้อ และจัดส่งอย่างไรครับ
I have a tube bender that bends 4 different size's and don't have to buy 4 different benders to do what 1 does. And bought it at Lowes. I use it to bend my copper for work.
Craig Chenault but can it bend thick wall stainless like these can?
Don't know never tried. I use it to bend my copper at work for freon lines.
Good for you. That has absolutely zero relevance to what this product does though. Copper is a very soft metal, while stainless steel is not. Apples and oranges.
Yea I know steel is not same as copper. The thing is both these benders and mine work off same principle and bend the pipe the same way . But if you want my comment to sound dumb no problem ,what ever.Was not saying tool is bad was just making a statement
Not trying to say it was dumb, you are just trying to say you bought a cheaper bender to do the same thing when you don’t know if it can bend stainless. It’s great info for plumbers, but not for what this product does and it sounded like you were talking down on these benders due to yours when you don’t even know the capability of yours to do the same thing.
How much

rs kitne hai paise
I can't find a good video that explains the take up theory and how it is applied in order to make an offset, mine are all 5/16 too big every time.
Hi, Your local sales and service center will be able to answer your question. You can find their contact information here: products.swagelok.com/locator
There is a chart in the tube bender manual that tells you the subtractive adjustments needed for bends 30-90 degrees, anything below 30 is no adjustment needed. For example if doing a 45 degree offset each 45 bend will equal up to 90 degree total and say the pipe is 1/4 with 9/16 bend radius the total subtracted adjustment will be 5/16.
All benders has their own tactics
There are two ways to bend tubing, the correct way and the incorrect way. All benders should be bending the same way, there are not more than two correct ways to bend tubing.

Lay all measurements out at one time making sure you burn the gain of each measurement after the first one the start bending. Marking and bending one measurement at a time it's called getting your ass fired!!!
