How to use a free-standing pipe bender?

Shop for Pipe Benders

Step 1 – Attach former

Attach the correctly sized former, the former matching your pipe diameter, to the pipe bender. This is done by screwing it in on the top of both legs of the bender.

Step 2 – Insert pipe

Insert the pipe on top of the former, securing it by clipping the holding clamp over the end of the pipe.

Step 3 – Insert guide

Insert the matching sized guide between the pipe and the roller within the handle base.

Step 4 – Make bend

Pull the handle down, using two hands if needed, until the pipe is at the required angle. Pull just past this angle to allow for spring back.

Step 5 – Remove pipe

Lift the handle back to its original upright position and remove the guide and pipe from the former.

Step 6 – Make another bend if necessary

If you require further bending on the pipe, (for example if you are creating a saddle bend), repeat the process from step 1.
