Description

The RIDGID No. 378 is a manual lever-style tube bender designed for precise bending of 1/8 in. OD tubing with a 3-3/4 in. bend radius. The tool features two long handles for leverage, a forming wheel with an angle scale, a clamping/holding mechanism, and a tube guide that helps produce controlled bends without excessive flattening or kinking. This bender is commonly used in plumbing, HVAC, refrigeration, automotive, laboratory, instrumentation, and industrial service work where small-diameter tubing must be formed accurately and repeatably.

Features

  • Genuine RIDGID No. 378 manual tube bender
  • Designed for 1/8 in. OD tubing
  • Bend radius: 3-3/4 in.
  • Manual lever-action design with two long handles
  • Angle scale on the forming body for controlled bends
  • Suitable for repeatable bends at selected angles
  • Forming wheel supports the tube during bending
  • Clamp/holding mechanism keeps tubing positioned during operation
  • Requires no electrical power
  • Heavy-duty metal construction for professional use
  • Suitable for shop, field, service, and maintenance work
  • More portable than stationary tube-bending machines
  • Visible marking: RIDGID No. 378 Tube Bender 1/8 OD 3-3/4 Radius

Applications

  • HVAC installation and refrigeration service work
  • Bending copper, aluminum, steel, and other compatible small-diameter tubing
  • Plumbing and mechanical installation work
  • Control lines, impulse lines, and instrumentation tubing
  • Automotive fuel, oil, brake-style, and hydraulic small tubing applications
  • Laboratory and process tubing systems
  • Industrial equipment maintenance
  • Repair shops and field service departments
  • Creating smooth radius bends without adding extra threaded, soldered, or compression fittings
  • Jobs requiring accurate tube forming without sharp kinks

System Use

This tool can be used as part of a tubing installation kit for refrigeration, air-conditioning, hydraulic, pneumatic, instrumentation, and process systems. A complete tubing setup may also include a tubing cutter, deburring/reaming tool, flaring tool, calibration gauge, wrenches, fittings, compression nuts, soldering equipment, brazing equipment, or press tools, depending on the type of tubing system.

Common systems where this bender may be used include:

  • Refrigeration and air-conditioning systems
  • Instrument pneumatic lines
  • Small hydraulic circuits
  • Gauge and pressure-sensor tubing
  • Laboratory gas or fluid lines
  • Automotive small-diameter tubing
