Jb Industries bs-6 Bending Spring 3/8 Inch Od Tubing

Product Description

The JB INDUSTRIES bs-6 is a spring-type tube bending tool designed for use with 3/8-inch OD tubing. It allows HVAC technicians, plumbers, and refrigeration mechanics to form smooth, controlled bends in soft copper, aluminum, brass, and steel tubing without kinking or collapsing the tube wall. The spring slides over or inside the tubing to support the bend radius during hand-forming. It is especially useful when working in tight spaces or when making irregular bends that fixed-die benders cannot accommodate.

This bending spring is suited for residential and light commercial HVAC and refrigeration work, plumbing rough-in, and any application requiring field-bent soft-metal tubing. It is commonly used when running refrigerant line sets, forming drain lines, or bending copper supply tubing in confined areas where a mechanical bender would be difficult to position. Sold individually, it is a standard hand tool carried by most trade technicians.

Key Features

• Fits 3/8-inch OD tubing for precise, kink-free bending
• Compatible with soft copper, aluminum, brass, and steel tubing
• Spring-type design supports the tube wall through the full bend arc
• Suited for irregular bends that fixed-die benders cannot form
• Compact form factor works in confined spaces and tight installations
• Sold as a single unit for individual tool replacement or kit supplementing

Compatibility

Designed for use with 3/8-inch OD soft copper, aluminum, brass, and steel tubing in HVAC, refrigeration, and plumbing applications.

Installation Notes

Slide the bending spring over or into the tubing before forming the bend, depending on whether an external or internal spring style is used. Always work with the tubing supported and free of sharp edges that could nick the spring coils. No power tools or gas shutoffs are required for this hand tool, but always follow applicable mechanical codes when bending refrigerant or gas-service tubing. Remove the spring carefully after bending by rotating it slightly to loosen the coils from the tube wall.
