BendPak Unveils Blue-Bullet Pipe Bender Series

BendPak has released its Blue-Bullet series pipe benders, based on the company’s original “Burgundy-Bullet” series that was introduced in 1979.

Designed to help fabricators reach production targets with ease and precision, Blue-Bullet pipe benders come with one of two quick-change bending die packages to handle any job. The company said the pipe bender has a full 180° bending capacity to give any pipe a true U-bend with a 5-inch radius. For normal bends, every Blue-Bullet is also capable of handling a minimum 3-1/3-inch bend radius with the correct die set.

The BendPak Blue-Bullet features a knee valve and degree plate combination for precise, straightforward bending, according to the company. The pipe benders have an industrial-strength, long-stroke cylinder, so pusher block extensions are no longer necessary. A clampless swager is capable of putting out over 30,000 lbs. of force for quick and precise end forming. The rapid set-up times and accuracy for expansions, slip-fits, flares, ball-joints, reductions and manifold flanges keep projects moving swiftly, leading to greater profits and less downtime, BendPak said.

The internal segment expander features a single arbor for all tubing sizes 1.5 inches to 3 inches, and a single cylinder operation control handle is smartly mounted in the center, so the operator can stand comfortably in one place to work both sides, according to the maker. Each Blue-Bullet has a durable powder coat finish to protect against damage.

As an optional accessory, BendPak offers itss BendData program, a library of bending specifications and step-by-step how-to guides for exhaust systems on over 10,000 cars and light trucks dating back to 1965, the company said.

The company says (ADAS) vehicles demand a higher quality of all parts, especially safety items such as brakes.

As moisture creeps through the porous nature of the friction material, it is compromising the untreated backing plat, NRS Brakes says. Usually, moisture in the friction material is dissipated as heat is created through normal braking routines.
