Custom Made Heaters

For those jobs requiring bends closer than the 1 3/4" center to center measurement achieved with standard heaters when placed side by side. We offer these custom heaters that perform two bends at one time with a center to center measurement as close as 3/4" with 1/4" "A" dimension and 1" with 1/2" "A" dimension. Custom heaters are built to your specifications with a short lead time.
