How To Bend Tubing

Imagine trying to bend or shape pipe, you'd have to cut each pipe and thread both ends.. a very time consuming and expensive process. In this video, Rich Wilbur demonstrates how you can use tubing that you can measure, mark, layout, and bend! Tubing that you can use instantly and put into service!

You’re a bending wizard. OMG. Seriously you make it look so easy

If you are running long pieces of tubing and have to put a lot of bends in one piece it helps to take a piece of tie wire and make a "model" Put al the bends in the tie wire in the direction they are supposed to go and it will keep you from making a bend in the wrong direction and having to start all over when bending the tubing.

I'm self taught and have been replacing the stainless steel tubing (1/4", 3/8", 1/2", 5/8", & 3/4") on our units for years. I never knew what the R on my benders was used for until now, thank you.

.You, Sir are a Magician !
Well done ! 👍👍👍👍

If you over-bend less-than 45°, you can use your hand benders and to bend it back to 90°. Also, due to gains & losses, that’s why you do your measurements one at a time.

Thank you sir! Well presented and important info here that will be valuable for my upcoming job. Much appreciated. Cheers from Motown.

I bent neon tubing for over 25 years. Make yourself a pattern and use a small latex hose and mark the center of the bends. The tricky part is where you have to skip a bend or two and come back and to it. The final bend will complete the unit.

I have rebent 90° bends in tubing back straight before and have never had a problem

I use 2 spark plug sockets of different sizes clamped in a vise to bend the lines. Contrary to most round sockets, these have a square base for clamping.

You should describe the fist bend you made that you line up on zero to zero on benders
and put your center mark on L on the benders. You never said anything about the L mark wish is for measuring left to right.

That looks like a nice little bending tool. What is model and where to buy? Thanks.

[policecarowner]

Where can I get a tubing bender like that, that makes tight bends? For 3/8"?

[MakerTable]

This fills in a lot of blanks in my tube bending education, Thanks!

[juancerriteno]

Name the brand of that tool bender buddy please tanks

If you calculate your setback and advance, tube gain is no issue. Then you can lay out all your tube measurements before you bend.

A lot of guys don't deburr for the tubing, complacency is at fault.

[texasslingleadsomtingwong]

You have got to do a video demonstrating these principles directed specifically to pc watercooling crowd . That sector is inundated by young non industry types guessing away at process, selection, sources etc .
You have a market that's untapped.

This guy bends tubes like he has been a brass pipe in a previous life :O

Make 4" bends: Yet you measured out 4" and made a bend...accounting for radious you're now you need to fit within a 4" gap, how do you subtract radious to start the bend at say 3.5" (or whatever it may be)?

Great wondered where they measured from what
