Ridgid 36112 Stainless Steel Tube Bender 6mm

Product Description

The RIDGID 36112 is a stainless steel instrument tube bender sized for 6mm tubing. Also cataloged as the RIDGID 406M Instrument Bender, this tool produces accurate, kink-free bends in small-diameter tubing used in instrumentation and control line applications. The stainless steel construction resists corrosion and holds up in both field and shop environments. It is sized specifically for 6mm tube OD, making it well suited for precision bending tasks where tight bend tolerances are required.

This instrument bender is used by plumbers, HVAC technicians, and instrumentation specialists working with 6mm tubing in residential and commercial settings. Typical applications include bending soft metal and stainless instrument tubing for control lines, refrigeration sensing lines, and low-pressure instrument runs. Its compact design makes it practical for both bench work and in-place field bending.

Key Features

• Stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance and long service life
• Sized for 6mm tube OD for precise, repeatable bends
• Produces kink-free bends that maintain tube integrity and flow path
• Also referenced as RIDGID model 406M Instrument Bender
• Compact tool form factor suitable for field and shop use

Compatibility

Designed for use with 6mm OD tubing in instrumentation, control line, and refrigeration sensing line applications.

Installation Notes

Tube bending should be performed by qualified plumbing, HVAC, or instrumentation technicians familiar with proper bending technique. Ensure the tube is fully seated in the bender form before applying force to prevent deformation or kinking. When working on live systems, isolate and depressurize the line before cutting or replacing tubing. Refer to applicable codes such as the IPC or IFGC for required tube materials and installation standards in your jurisdiction.
