Yellow Jacket 60359 Spring Tube Bender 5/8 Inch

Product Description

The YELLOW JACKET 60359 is a 5/8-inch spring tube bender designed for shaping soft copper and aluminum tubing without kinking or collapsing the tube wall. Also marketed under the Ritchie brand, this tool provides uniform bends through spring tension that supports the tubing along the full bend radius. HVAC technicians and refrigeration mechanics use it when routing linesets, evaporator coil connections, and other tubing runs where tight, clean bends are required in confined spaces. It is a hand tool requiring no additional equipment to operate.

The 60359 is suited for residential and light commercial HVAC and refrigeration work where 5/8-inch OD soft tubing must be formed in the field. It is commonly used during new equipment installation, service calls, and lineset modifications where pre-bent fittings are not practical. The spring design allows bending without a separate mandrel or mechanical bender frame, making it a compact addition to a field service kit.

Key Features

• 5/8-inch size fits standard 5/8-inch OD soft copper or aluminum tubing
• Spring-type design supports the full circumference of the tube during bending to prevent kinking
• Compact, lightweight form factor suits field service and new installation work
• No additional tools or fixtures required to operate
• Also known under the Ritchie product line

Compatibility

Designed for use with 5/8-inch OD soft copper and aluminum tubing commonly found in HVAC and refrigeration applications.

Installation Notes

Spring tube benders are typically used by HVAC technicians and refrigeration mechanics as a hand tool during tubing installation or modification. Isolate and recover refrigerant from any active system before cutting or bending tubing connected to refrigerant circuits. Ensure the tubing is fully seated within the spring before applying bending force to achieve a clean, consistent radius and avoid wall deformation.
