Get coil tubing dead straight — quickly and cleanly. The Nuevo Straightening-Can™ is a handheld tube straightener for copper, aluminium, stainless and brass lines. Perfect for refrigeration line-sets, fuel and brake lines, and tight installs where bench tools won’t fit — too easy for service techs who want neat runs and fewer call-backs.

Key Features & Trade Benefits

• Handheld, fast workflow — straighten coiled or bent tube on site without a bench jig → saves time on call-outs.
• Polycarbonate body (shock-resistant) — tough, transparent housing makes alignment simple and resists jobsite knocks.
• T6061 aluminium rollers — anodised rollers protect the tube surface to help avoid scratches that can spoil flares.
• High-performance ball bearings — smooth feed with less effort; consistent straightening for cleaner, faster installs.
• Size-specific can — each Straightening-Can is built for one OD size for best results (pick 3/16", 1/4", 5/16", etc.).
• Multi-material — works on soft copper, aluminium, stainless and brass lines used across HVAC & automotive.

Why this tool matters

Real-world: up on a Brisbane roof in a nor’wester, we had a tight mini-split run with soft-drawn 1/4" and 3/8" coil trying to spring back. The Straightening-Can ran over the tube like a beauty — straightened in minutes, flares seated first go, and the system pulled down clean. Fair dinkum time-saver and a neater finish for the client.

Pro Tip

Select the exact OD to match the tube (e.g., 1/4", 3/8"). Run a short, straightened section before cutting and flaring — you’ll get truer flares and fewer leaks. A tiny dab of suitable lubricant can help on larger sizes. No worries.

Compatibility & System Info

• Materials: copper, aluminium, stainless steel, brass.
• Typical HVAC use: straightening R410A/R32 line-set tails before bending/flaring; neat service loops on condensing units.
• Automotive/industrial: brake, fuel and process lines.
• Sizing: each tool suits one OD only — choose from popular sizes like 3/16", 1/4", 5/16", etc.

Local jobsite note

Whether you’re threading lines in a cramped Sydney plant room or sorting a retrofit in Melbourne’s chill, a size-matched Straightening-Can keeps lines straight without kinks — she’ll be right.

FAQs

How do I choose the right size?
Match the tool to the tube’s outside diameter (OD). If you’re working 1/4" line-set tails, choose the 1/4" Straightening-Can.

Can I use it on stainless or brake lines?
Yes — it’s designed for copper, aluminium, stainless and brass, including automotive brake/fuel lines.

Will it damage the tube?
The anodised alloy rollers and ball bearings provide smooth feed and help avoid scratching when used correctly.

Do I still need a tube bender?
Yes. Use this to get the run straight; then bend accurately with a bend er like the Imperial 370-FH for tidy radii. See the related pick below.
