Diversitech 364-fha-05 Lever Tube Bender 5/16 Inch

Product Description

The DIVERSITECH 364-fha-05 is a lever-type tube bender designed for field and shop use by HVAC technicians, plumbers, and refrigeration mechanics. It bends 5/16-inch outside diameter tubing up to 180 degrees with a centerline bend radius of 11/16 inches. The calibrated angle gauge built into the tool lets the installer read the bend angle directly without guessing. The open-side design allows the bender to slip over tubing at any point along the run, so the tube does not need to be threaded through from an end. Compatible materials include soft copper, steel, aluminum, and brass tubing.

This bender is sized specifically for 5/16-inch OD tubing and handles left, right, and offset bend types, making it suited for tight routing in residential and commercial HVAC refrigerant line sets, plumbing rough-in, and instrumentation tubing runs. The wide hook grips tubing securely throughout the bend cycle to prevent slipping, scoring, or flattening of the tube wall. Each unit bends one tube size, so the result is consistent geometry on every bend. The lever handle provides mechanical advantage for clean, repeatable bends in soft metals without requiring a bench-mounted tool.

Key Features

• Bends 5/16-inch OD soft copper, steel, aluminum, and brass tubing
• Maximum bend angle of 180 degrees with a 11/16-inch centerline bend radius
• Integrated angle gauge calibrated to show the degree of bend during operation
• Open-side design slips over the tube at any point along its length
• Wide hook secures tubing to prevent scoring, flattening, or slipping
• Supports left, right, and offset bend types for versatile routing

Compatibility

Designed for use with 5/16-inch outside diameter soft copper, steel, aluminum, and brass tubing in ducted and ductless HVAC, refrigeration, plumbing, and instrumentation applications.

Installation Notes

This tool is used by HVAC technicians, plumbers, and refrigeration mechanics during rough-in and service work. No power source is required. Before bending, ensure the tubing is free of burrs or dents that could cause the wall to collapse at the bend point. Avoid over-bending and then straightening the tube repeatedly, as this work-hardens soft metals and increases the risk of cracking.
