RIDGID® Manual Hydraulic Benders Offer an Easy, Precise Way to Consistently Bend Steel and Standard Gas Pipe
ELYRIA, OHIO - The new, easy-to-use RIDGID® Manual Hydraulic Benders are designed for precise cold bending of standard gas pipe (DIN 2440), black steel schedule 40 (ASTM A53) pipe and stainless steel schedule 40 pipe.
Bending angle indicators show, in real time, the angle the pipe is bent to, reducing the number of starts, stops and pipe removals to take measurements. The durable piston seals prevent premature leaks and maximize uptime. User fatigue is minimized due to the unique design of the handle, which minimizes the number of strokes to advance the piston and requires less effort per stroke. The benders' single-circuit hydraulic system with a return spring provides better control of the ram.
"End users indicated they needed a hydraulic pipe bender they could count on," said Larry Feskanich, product manager, pipe tools, RIDGID. "The rugged construction and high-grade seals of the RIDGID Manual Hydraulic Benders offer a reliable solution to make quick and consistent bends."
The RIDGID Manual Hydraulic Benders are available in two models: ⅜-to-2-inch capacity (Model HB382) and ⅜-to-3-inch capacity (Model HB383).
The hydraulic benders offer a wide range of accessories to cater to special bending applications. The benders are versatile and portable, making them ideal for applications in construction, boiler making, shipbuilding, process manufacturing and industrial applications.
The durable hydraulic benders are backed by the RIDGID lifetime warranty.
