Notes:
1. The empty-bending system (without a mandrel or wiper die) is recommended for applications with gray boxes.

2. A wiper die is recommended for all other applications.

3. "H" style, brute, chain link mandrel in regular pitch, close pitch, and ultra-close pitch.

4. All mandrels are available with lube holes and grooves and finished in chrome, Kro-Lon AMPCO bronze.
