Precision Brand 48520 Hose Bender 90 Degree

Product Description

The PRECISION BRAND 48520 is a hose bender designed to guide flexible hose through controlled bends without kinking or collapsing the hose wall. It supports a maximum hose outer diameter of 0.95 inches and allows bends up to 90 degrees. This tool is used by plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general trades when routing hose assemblies in tight spaces where a clean, consistent bend radius is required. At 0.11 pounds, the 48520 is lightweight and easy to handle on the job.

The 48520 is suited for light-duty hose bending tasks in residential and commercial service environments. It is commonly used when installing or rerouting flexible hose lines where sharp bends would otherwise restrict flow or damage the hose. Technicians working on HVAC drain lines, refrigeration tubing jackets, or small-bore plumbing hose assemblies will find this bender a practical hand tool for maintaining proper bend geometry.

Key Features

• Maximum hose outer diameter: 0.95 inches
• Maximum bend angle: 90 degrees
• Lightweight at 0.11 pounds for easy one-hand use
• Prevents kinking and flow restriction during hose routing
• Compact form factor suited for tight installation spaces

Compatibility

Designed for use with flexible hoses up to 0.95 inches outer diameter requiring bends up to 90 degrees. Consult hose manufacturer specifications to confirm the bender is appropriate for the hose material and wall thickness in use.

Installation Notes

This tool is used by hand and requires no power source or special equipment. Depressurize and drain the hose or line before disconnecting any fittings when servicing an active system. Ensure the hose outer diameter does not exceed 0.95 inches before use to avoid tool damage or an improper bend. Follow applicable plumbing or mechanical codes for minimum bend radius requirements on the specific hose type being worked.
