SAFETY OPERATION MAINTENANCESETUP
Bending Pipe
NOTICE: A certain amount of deformation will occur when using this Pipe Bender.
Choosing the right pipe will reduce deformation. Use only ANSI Schedule 40 or 80 malleable steel pipe.
Note: To further reduce deformation,
internal support may be provided by:
a. Using mandrels. Follow mandrel
manufacturer’s directions.
b. Packing pipe with clean sand, then
capping off ends with steel caps
(sold separately) before bending.
WARNING! To prevent injury from
burns, do not apply heat to pipe.

Note: Practice on scrap workpieces until
familiar with Pipe Bender’s capabilities.
1. Choose Bending Die the same nominal pipe size
as pipe. For example: Use 1/2" Bending Die
with the size marked on it with 1/2" NPS pipe.
Note: Outside pipe diameters are larger
than the pipe size. See Figure B.
2. Attach Bending Die to Piston.
3. Adjust Rollers to correspond with
size of Bending Die:
a. Remove R-Pins from Cotter Pins,
then remove Cotter Pins.
b. Move Rollers to proper positions, then
replace Cotter Pins and R-Pins.
