A method is provided for bending insulated metal pipe typically having an inner tubular pipe of the order of 0.5 to 1.00 inches diameter surrounded by a layer of a foam or other insulation material of the order of 1.5 to 2.0 inches diameter. The insulated pipe is manually grasped and pulled into a curve around a part circular channel shaped to receive and cup the outside surface of the insulated metal pipe where the channel has a diameter greater than 1.5 inches and the bender is formed solely from the channel member so as to be free from a handle or foot pedal portion to assist with bending. The channel includes at one end a portion which wraps around the insulated pipe to hold the pipe at that portion within the channel.
