bending pipe

[mrrec]

Well, Ed, you bought a PIPE bender. It is for thick walled pipe. You want to bend tubing. Tubing is thin walled. The only good way to bend tubing is with a hydraulic tubing bender - like a muffler shop has. They are about $4000.00 or, if you want mandrel bends, about $9000.00.

You can buy various angles in various OD's and weld to straight lengths or you can heat your tubing and bend. You won't like the results of the latter at all.

I agree, go to a muffler shop that will work with you and make friends!
