Tips: Can a hand pipe bender used for square or rectangular pipes?

A hand pipe bender is typically designed for use with round pipes. When it comes to bending square or rectangular pipes, a standard round pipe bender is not ideal. This is because the flat surfaces and sharp corners of square or rectangular pipes do not deform evenly like round pipes, which can lead to distortion or even damage during the bending process.

If you need to bend square or rectangular pipes, it's best to use a bender specifically designed for those shapes. These benders have specialized dies or clamping mechanisms to properly hold the pipe and ensure a smooth, controlled bend without compromising the shape.

In summary, while a hand pipe bender works well for round pipes, bending square or rectangular pipes requires specialized equipment to avoid damaging the material.
