With the Ridgid 37243 bending former, you bend standard 1 1/4 inch gas pipes cleanly and accurately. Designed specifically for Ridgid manual and electric hydraulic pipe benders, it features a fixed 130 mm bend radius that produces smooth, uniform bends every time. It prevents pipe kinking, crushing, and ovalization, allowing you to cold bend heavy-wall steel pipes without preheating. This eliminates the need for welded elbows and threaded fittings, significantly reducing potential gas leak points. Built to withstand high hydraulic pressures, this durable former gives you full control and reliable results on demanding commercial plumbing and heating installations.
