RIDGID 36518 / HB382 Tip-Up Wing Hydraulic Bender is a portable manual hydraulic pipe-bending machine with a 3/8" to 2" outside-diameter capacity. It uses a single-circuit hydraulic system with a return spring for controlled ram movement and incorporates bending-angle indicators to help achieve accurate bends without repeatedly stopping to remove the pipe for measurement.
The bender is supplied with bending formers suitable for standard gas-pipe applications and corner supports. Durable piston seals help prevent premature hydraulic leakage, while a pressure-relief valve protects the hydraulic system from excessive pressure.
Main Features
• Tip-Up Wing Design – provides additional rigidity during the bending operation and facilitates pipe setup and removal.
• 3/8"–2" Capacity – suitable for a broad range of standard gas and black steel pipe sizes.
• Manual Hydraulic Operation – hydraulic force makes heavy pipe bending easier than conventional mechanical bending.
• Single-Circuit Hydraulic System – provides controlled ram movement.
• Return Spring – assists ram return after bending.
• Long Cylinder Stroke – reduces the number of pumping operations and helps minimize operator fatigue.
• Bending Angle Indicators – allow the operator to monitor bend progression and reduce unnecessary stops and measurements.
• Durable Piston Seals – designed to reduce premature hydraulic leakage.
• Pressure Relief Valve – protects the hydraulic system against over-pressurization.
• Portable Design – suitable for field and job-site pipe fabrication.
• Bending Formers Included – supplied with formers and corner supports for standard gas pipe applications.
