Rectangular tubing bend orientation can be confusing. Many simply call the two options the “hard way,” and the “easy way.” We designate two planes of rectangular-tube bending: Y, (around the Major axis) or X= around the minor axis.


Our rectangular bends are used, by and large, by cup manufactures in pneumatic conveyance of “squat cups.”
Thus, we also picture the bend orientation vs cup transport.
When ordering, please provide the bend size, the angle, the bend radius, the orientation (major or minor), and tangents (standard tangents are 8″ on both ends).
