Tube Bender for 3/8 Inch Tubing

The Ridgid 38043 lever tube bender handles 3/8 inch outside diameter stainless steel, steel and titanium tubing. It is built for plumbers and technicians who need accurate bends on hard tubing materials in industrial and automotive settings.

15/16 Inch Centerline Bend Radius

The fixed centerline bend radius of 15/16 inch determines the tightest curve achievable on copper, steel and stainless steel. This single dimension decides whether the tool fits the routing constraints of a given installation.

Lever Action With 0 To 180 Degree Range

The lever mechanism bends from 0 to 180 degrees with angle markings on the form and alignment references on the carriage. Lock and unlock positions on the handle secure the tubing during sustained bending force without spring-back.

Questions about this item

What does the 15/16 in centreline radius mean for the bends I make?

The 15/16 in centreline radius is the fixed curve the lever bender forms on 3/8 in OD copper steel or stainless tubing so every bend follows that same curve.

How do the angle markings on the form and carriage help me hit 45 90 or 180 degrees?

The form shows 0 to 180 degree markings while the carriage adds 0 45 L R alignment plus 90 to 180 and 0 to 90 lock unlock positions so you can set and repeat common angles accurately.

What tubing sizes and materials fit this bender?

It accepts 3/8 in outside diameter tubing made from stainless steel steel or titanium and is built for hard tubing applications.
