3.Choose an angle to bend your pipe. To make a 35-45˚ bend, place the rollers between the far outside holes on the frame. To make a 90˚ bend, place the rollers between the holes closest to the ram. Placing the rollers fur- ther inside the frame increases the bending angle.

4.To move the rollers, remove the hitch pins and roller shafts (Figure 4), and place the rollers between corresponding holes on each side of the frame.

6.Place the pipe over the bending die.

Note: To account for pipe shortening dur- ing the bend, make sure the pipe extends beyond the rollers (Figure 5) and, for short pipe, set the rollers closer together, as shown in Figure 6.
