7 Pipe Benders – to reduce the chance of kinking, bend approximately 10 degrees at a
time, moving the pipe slightly in or out of the bender after each bend, until the desired
bend is formed.
INSPECTION/MAINTENANCE
The vise should be inspected before each use for wear or damage that could affect the
safe use of the vise. Clean the vise to aid inspection and help prevent handles, etc. from
slipping from your grip. Make sure the vise is complete and properly assembled. Clean the
teeth of the jaw with a wire brush to remove dirt. Replace jaw if teeth are worn to prevent
pipe slippage. Inspect chain for any separation of links or other damage. Link separation
indicates the chain has been overloaded and should be replaced. If any problems are
found, do not use the vise until the problems are corrected. Lubricate all moving
parts/joints as needed with a light lubricant oil and wipe any excess oil from the stand.
NOTICE
Use of equipment for both carbon and stainless steel pipe can lead to contamination of
the stainless steel material. This contamination could cause corrosion and premature pipe
failure. To prevent ferrous contamination of stainless steel pipe, use dedicated equipment.
Alternately, a stainless wire brush may be used to thoroughly clean the equipment when
switching between materials.
