Tubing Bender for RV-12iS

[rv12iS-builder]

Besides the 3/8-inch fuel lines, are there any other sizes of tubing we need to bend for the RV-12iS? The required tool list in the version of Section 3 that I have says "tubing bender," but it doesn't specify size.

Thanks,

Look this tool up on ACS:

368-FH IMP TUBE BENDER​

There are 2 bends needed in the 1/4 inch fuel overflow line. Found at - 38iS/U-18 step 8. All the other bending is in the 3/8 inch fuel lines.

Thanks, David. That's just what I needed to know!

depending on the bender, there is one short fuel tube shaped like a J or a U that can be difficult to make. You'll know it when you come to it.. its because there is a bend very close to the end of the tube. You can make the tube a bit longer to get around this problem as long as the two ends of the tube are at the same position in relation to each other as per the manual.

Good info! Thanks, Rob!

I’m not familiar with the 12is…on my 12ULS I learned to make/bend the longest tubes first so that when I goofed up one I could still use that tube material for shorter ones.
