Bending
Tubing benders are used to form precise bends in copper and aluminum tubing without flattening or kinking the material. Accurate bending helps maintain proper refrigerant flow and prepares tubing for clean connections made using flaring or swaging tools. From handheld benders for soft copper to ratcheting and hydraulic options for larger sizes, tubing benders are an essential starting point when routing refrigerant lines during HVAC system installation or repair.
