Precision Brand 48530 Hose Bender 90 Degree 1.42 Inch

Product Description

The PRECISION BRAND 48530 is a hose bender designed to guide flexible hose through controlled bends without kinking, collapsing, or restricting flow. It accommodates hose with a maximum outside diameter of 1.42 inches and allows bends up to 90 degrees. This type of tool is commonly used by HVAC technicians, plumbers, and equipment service pros when routing coolant lines, condensate tubing, or other flexible hose in tight spaces. The 48530 helps maintain consistent hose ID through the bend, preserving flow capacity and reducing the risk of premature hose failure at the bend point.

The 48530 suits residential and light commercial service work where flexible hose must be routed around obstructions or through enclosures. It is a practical hand tool for field technicians working on equipment installations, retrofits, or service calls that require clean, controlled hose routing. The compact size and light weight make it easy to carry in a standard tool bag.

Installation Notes

Hose benders are a hand tool requiring no special power or pneumatic equipment. Relieve system pressure and drain any fluid from the hose line before repositioning or rerouting hose. Ensure the hose OD does not exceed the 1.42-inch maximum to avoid improper seating in the bender. Follow applicable codes and equipment manufacturer guidelines when rerouting lines in pressurized or fluid-carrying systems.
