Ridgid 36097 Tubing Bender 3/8 in

The Ridgid 36097 is a lever-type tube bender designed to form precise bends in 3/8 inch outside diameter tubing. It handles annealed copper, stainless steel, and steel materials for plumbing and industrial applications. The tool features calibrated angle markings ranging from 0 to 180 degrees for accurate, repeatable results.

Plumbers and technicians forming 3/8 in tubing

This bender suits professionals and DIY users who need to create 90 to 180 degree bends in 3/8 inch copper, stainless, or steel tubing using a lever mechanism. It is not for buyers who need to bend larger diameter tubing, different tubing materials, or require hydraulic or powered bending equipment for high-volume production work.

Centerline bend radius 15/16 in for copper steel

The fixed centerline bend radius of 15/16 inch determines the minimum curvature achievable for copper, steel, and stainless steel tubing. This specific radius decides whether the tool fits the installation spacing and routing requirements of the job at hand.

Questions about this item

How do I verify the Ridgid 36097 is bending correctly after setup?

Make a test bend on annealed copper, steel, or stainless steel tube with a 3/8 in outside diameter and confirm the calibrated angle markings read between 90 and 180 degrees while the centerline radius matches 15/16 in for those materials.

What comes with the Ridgid 36097 tubing bender and what must I supply?

The bender itself is included; you must supply the tubing — annealed copper, stainless steel, or steel with a 3/8 in outside diameter — to match the calibrated angle markings and 15/16 in centerline radius.

Which version of the Ridgid 36097 should I choose for my tubing size?

The 36097 is a single model built for 3/8 in outside diameter tubing with a 15/16 in centerline bend radius and calibrated markings from 90 to 180 degrees; select it only when your material and size match those specifications.
