The Model A-7 is the most popular bending machine manufactured by Pedrick. It is a heavy duty version of the Model A-5. The Model A-7's primary application is for bending 1/2 inch - 2 inch schedule 80 pipe for small bore process piping for plant maintenance and many original equipment manufacturing (OEM) applications. Bends produced on a 3D bend radius meet American Petroleum Institute (API) specifications for ovality (flattening) and wall thinning. The 28,500 inch-lbs. bending moment is very large and as a result this bender is used to bend many heavy and difficult sections.
