Hose Benders & Menders

Hose benders and menders help maintenance, plumbing, and repair teams manage hose runs. Hose benders support straight hose in a controlled path around equipment, hot areas, moving machinery, walkways, and other obstacles, while hose menders reconnect damaged sections or join hose to create a longer run.

Helpful Buying Guide

Choose hose routing and repair hardware for the job

This category includes two distinct product types: stainless steel hose benders for shaping and supporting hose paths, and steel hose menders for joining compatible hose sections. Start by deciding whether the task is routing a hose around an obstacle or repairing or extending an existing hose run.

Use Cases

Route, support, repair, or extend hose

Use a hose bender when a straight hose needs a controlled bend and added support. Use a hose mender when damaged hose sections need to be reconnected or when a longer hose run is needed.

How to Choose

Match the hardware to hose dimensions

For benders, match the listed hose inside diameter and, where provided, confirm the maximum outside diameter. For menders, select shanks that match the hose inside diameter at both ends.

Applications

Plan around work areas and equipment

Hose benders can help keep routing more orderly around equipment, walkways, hot areas, and moving machinery. Stainless steel construction helps resist rust in wet and other demanding environments.

Additional Info

Review installation and order details

Benders slide over the hose and are formed into position without special tools. Menders are secured with compatible clamps. Listed minimum order quantities vary by item.

1/4 in.–1 in.Bender hose I.D. range represented

Available bender sizes span from 1/4 in. through 1 in. hose inside diameter.

Up to 90°Bend per coil

Each coil can form bends up to 90 degrees.

1-1/4 in. & 2 in.Mender sizes represented

Steel menders are represented for matching 1-1/4 in. and 2 in. hose inside diameters.

No special toolsBender installation

Benders slide over the hose for placement and forming.

Planning Guide

Plan the right fit before choosing

Product Types

Select a bender for routing or a mender for hose connections

Hose benders are designed to hold hose in a selected path and help reduce kinking and fatigue associated with repeated bending. Hose menders are straight connectors used to join two compatible hose sections for repair or extension work.

  • Stainless steel hose benders support controlled hose bends.
  • Steel hose menders reconnect damaged hose or extend a hose run.
  • Menders require compatible clamps for attachment.
Sizing & Bend Planning

Confirm hose size before choosing

The available hose benders are represented for 1/4 in., 5/16 in., 3/8 in., 1/2 in., 5/8 in., 3/4 in., and 1 in. hose inside diameters. Some benders also list maximum compatible outside diameters. Hose menders are represented in 1-1/4 in. and 2 in. sizes and use matching shanks for matching hose inside diameters.

  • Match bender size to the hose I.D.
  • Where listed, check the hose O.D. against the bender maximum.
  • Plan the bend path: each coil can form bends up to 90 degrees, and additional coils can support larger turns.
Installation Considerations

Use the specified installation method

Hose benders install by sliding over the hose and bending or pressing the spine into the desired position; no special tools or equipment are required. Hose menders install by placing the matching shanks into the hose ends and securing them with compatible clamps.

  • Position benders where hose needs support at a bend.
  • Use compatible clamps to secure hose menders.
  • Check the item minimum order quantity before purchasing.
FAQ

Common questions before buying

What is the difference between a hose bender and a hose mender?

A hose bender supports hose in a controlled routing path. A hose mender joins compatible hose sections for repair or extension work.

How do I size a hose bender?

Match the bender to the hose inside diameter and check the listed maximum outside diameter when one is provided.

Do hose benders require special tools?

No. The represented hose benders slide over the hose and are formed or pressed into position without special tools or equipment.

How are hose menders installed?

Insert the matching shanks into compatible hose ends and secure the connection with compatible clamps.
