The best way to bend brass tubing is to anneal it it first by heating until it is just starts to turn a dull red, let cool then slip the spring over the tubing and (within limits) bend away. Aluminum tubing is soft enough to bend without any annealling. The little butane torch at the top was purchased from Menards: $6.00 for the torch and $5.00 for a life-time supply of Butane in a aerosol can.

Just to add some tid bits.... filling the Al tube with fine sand or even filling with water and freezing it to ice, help in making nice bends. BTW, A very nice serpentine bend in that tube:-)

Thanks for the information. Never knew these existed. Used big ones for copper gas lines. I will be looking for it at my next visit. Lots smoother than mine.
