Tube
Benders
(For 1/4" – 1-1/2" diameter tubing)
Sturdy…Simple…Manual…
Bends to exact tolerances.
The Parker Exactol Tube Benders are probably the
most versatile bench benders available today. Built for
easy manual bending of copper, brass, aluminum, steel
and stainless steel tubes to exact tolerances, the 400
Series benders are also compact and portable to any
area for service use where a vise is available.
Along with the bender itself, Parker has developed a complete package of accessories to enable this tool to be
used for all types of bending: close bend radius blocks, mandrels for thin wall tubes, bench mounting adapters
and more.

Notes:
1. All benders are capable of bending 1/2” O.D. and under fully
annealed steel and stainless steel tubing with no limit on wall
thickness.
2. All benders are capable of bending soft aluminum and copper
tubing to the full range of each bender type capacity with no limit
on wall thickness.
3. For hard copper and high strength aluminum use the tabulations
shown for stainless steel. Observe that very hard materials may
not be ductile enough to bend without fracture.
