Tube bending tool NEO tools 02-431 depth 760 mm weight 346 g

The NEO tools 02-431 tube bending tool is a spring designed for bending 16 mm PEX pipes with a length of 760 mm. Made of steel with a galvanized, anti-corrosive coating and a flat spring profile, the tool enables bending without heating or softening the pipe material. The spring is lightweight and intended for manual operation; a hooked end facilitates removal from long or hard-to-reach sections.

Advantages

The galvanized surface and anti-corrosion coating extend the service life and resist rust in wet or damp environments. The flat spring profile prevents visible deformation on the outside of the pipe while providing internal support during bending. A hook at one end allows simple extraction from installed pipe runs, and the compact, lightweight construction makes the tool easy to handle during manual bending tasks.

Suitable for

• Bending 16 mm PEX (polyethylene cross-linked) pipes
• Plumbing installations in residential and commercial settings
• Tight or confined spaces where heating the pipe is impractical
• Retrofitting and repair work requiring quick manual bends

Key specifications

• Pipe compatibility: 16 mm PEX pipes
• Length: 760 mm
• Material: steel spring
• Wire diameter: 2.2 mm
• Surface treatment: galvanized anti-corrosive coating
• Profile: flat spring profile with hooked end for extraction
• Weight: 346 g

How to use

Insert the spring fully into the 16 mm PEX pipe before bending so the flat profile supports the inner wall. Manually bend the pipe to the required angle while holding the spring in place to maintain internal shape; the flat finish is designed not to leave visible marks on the pipe exterior. After completing the bend, use the hooked end to pull the spring out of the pipe, especially when working with longer runs or sections that are difficult to access.

Usage recommendations

Use the spring for manual bending only and avoid applying excessive force that could deform the pipe beyond its recommended bend radius. Inspect the spring for corrosion or damage before use and ensure the spring is fully inserted to protect the pipe interior during bending. Store the tool in a dry place to preserve the galvanized coating.
