Ridgid 35265 Spring-type Tube Bender 1/2 in Pack of 6

Product Description

The RIDGID 35265 is a spring-type tube bender designed for fast, free-form bending of soft copper and aluminum tubing. Built to the D-1379 model specification, this bender measures 12 inches in length and handles tube up to 1/2 inch in capacity. Dual-unit markings in both inches and millimeters are built into the spring body, allowing precise bend placement without a separate measuring tool. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and refrigeration mechanics rely on spring-type benders when working in tight spaces where a lever-style bender is impractical. This listing includes a pack of 6 benders.

Spring-type tube benders are a standard tool in residential and light commercial plumbing and HVAC rough-in work. They are commonly used when running soft copper supply lines, refrigerant tubing, or aluminum tubing through framing, cabinets, or equipment enclosures. The free-form bending method allows the technician to achieve smooth, kink-free bends by hand without a mandrel or mechanical lever. A pack of 6 suits service vans stocking multiples for different tube sizes or for keeping spares on hand across a crew.

Key Features

• Handles 1/2 inch soft copper and aluminum tube
• 12 inches in overall length for extended grip and control during bending
• Dual graduation marks in inches and millimeters for accurate bend placement
• Free-form hand bending requires no lever mechanism or mandrel
• Pack of 6 provides supply for multi-tech crews or service van stocking

Compatibility

Designed for use with 1/2 inch soft copper and aluminum tubing in plumbing, HVAC, and refrigeration applications.

Installation Notes

Spring-type tube benders are installed by hand by licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, or refrigeration mechanics. Slide the spring over or inside the tube at the desired bend location and apply steady, even hand pressure to form the curve. Avoid rapid or jerky force, which can kink the tube wall. Ensure the tubing is fully seated within the spring before bending to maintain roundness through the bend.
