Ridgid 35170 geared ratchet tube bender for 5/8 in tubing with calibrated angle markings

Ridgid

Ridgid 35170 Tube Bender Geared Ratchet 5/8 in

SKU CH-18G5-8ZVS8

Ratchet-driven tube bender calibrated in 15-degree increments up to 180 degrees for 5/8 inch hard copper, heavy-wall steel and stainless steel

  • Ratchet-driven mechanism bends tubing with reduced effort
  • Calibrated 0–180° markings enable precise bend angles
  • 15° calibration increments allow repeatable, accurate bends
  • 3 in centerline radius produces tight, controlled curves
  • Works with hard copper, heavy-wall steel and stainless tubing

Ridgid 35170 5/8 in tube bender

The Ridgid 35170 is a ratchet-driven tube bender designed for 5/8 inch outside diameter tubing. It handles hard copper, heavy-wall steel and stainless steel. Calibrated markings show angles from 0 to 180 degrees in 15 degree increments. A 3 inch centerline bend radius provides consistent forming for plumbing and mechanical installations.

Suited for installers needing precise manual bends

Plumbers and maintenance technicians who require accurate, repeatable bends on 5/8 inch tubing will find this tool effective. The geared ratchet mechanism reduces effort while maintaining control. It is not intended for larger diameter tubing or for high-volume production bending where hydraulic equipment would be more appropriate.

5/8 in tubing capacity and 3 in bend radius

The tool works only with 5/8 inch outside diameter tubing in the listed materials. The fixed 3 inch centerline radius determines the minimum bend geometry achievable. Verify that your tubing size and bend radius requirements match these specifications before purchase.

Questions about this item

What does the 180-degree bend capacity mean when I am working with the tube?

The calibrated markings let you stop at any point from 0 to 180 degrees so you can form precise bends in hard copper, heavy-wall steel or stainless steel.

How does the ratchet-driven mechanism limit the way I use the bender?

The ratchet action advances the bend in controlled steps and the angle scale is marked in 15-degree increments for repeatable results.

What physical clearance does the 3-inch centerline radius require on the job site?

A 3-inch centerline radius means the tube follows a 6-inch diameter curve, so you need at least that much open space around the workpiece.
