the tube bender shown in
2. Choose the proper size bending die and slip it
on the end of the ram as shown in
Bending
Die
Figure 3. Die installed on bottle jack ram.
3. Choose an angle to bend your pipe. To make
a 35-45˚ bend, place the rollers between the
far outside holes on the frame. To make a
90˚ bend, place the rollers between the holes
closest to the ram. Placing the rollers fur
ther inside the frame increases the bending
angle.

Note: To account for pipe shortening dur-
ing the bend, make sure the pipe extends
beyond the rollers
pipe, set the rollers closer together, as shown
in Figure 6.
