a "ridged" (brand name) cast alum tubing bender 1/2"-3/8-5/16 tubes in one bender works best PVC pipes and pullys will work but the bender will make nice tight bends with no kinks

Where are you? I have several benders as well as nice double flare equipment.

If the radius you are after is making it kink I'd (as said) fill it w something & (carefully) heat it as you bend it w the bender that supports it on 3 sides. grab a helper.
