Pipe bender
Term · Industrial and trades · MLC-T-IND-004329
A tool used to form accurate and smooth curves in metal or plastic pipes without kinking or collapsing the pipe wall. It applies controlled force to deform the material, allowing for custom routing of plumbing lines. Manual pipe benders are common for smaller diameters, while hydraulic or electric models handle larger pipes up to several inches in diameter.
