We have also designed bending arm extension handles to increase the leverage for bending both 15mm 22mm copper pipe. These short threaded extension handles code 1224M fit both the 15mm XV XVE & XVL and 22mm XXII versions. One or more extension handles can be added for additional leverage. Even when you have chosen standard tube dimensions, standard bend radii and kept to a limited number of different bend sizes, there are still bend configurations that will cause problems for tube manipulators and will often translate into higher costs for you. There is normally a way to produce most tube designs but some can be far more complicated to manufacture than you might imagine. In some cases the only way your tube will be able to be produced is in sections and to be joined. A good weld joint, properly dressed will be all but invisible, but obviously adds to the cost, so if you can avoid it so much the better.

Ratchet pipe bender - Ratchet pipe benders look much different to other pipe benders as they use a lever to 'push' the pipe into shape. Their smaller form factor makes them great for jobs where space is limited, and their crossbow-like design makes them excellent for bending pipes that are already attached to the wall. throating occurs on testing with the XV, XVE (XVL) XXII, XXIIE as well as Monument 2600K and a Hilmor® GLMPipe benders are typically made from strong steel or die-cast aluminium. They are designed to withstand the pressure put on them when bending a pipe, whilst still maintaining a flawless bend in any given pipe. Rubber feet are available code 2607F which fit the 1215K, 1315XVE, 1315Longarm, 1222G, 1322Extended. Two rubber feet are included in the 22mm versions. The rubber feet also fit the Monument 15mm/22mm combi bender 2600K. Some thin wall (relative to diameter or material specification) tubing is liable to collapse when bent and with a draw bending process (in contrast to compression bending) it is possible to support the tube at the point where the bending is taking place by inserting a mandrel down the centre of the tube. For this reason draw bending is sometimes referred to as mandrel bending. Roll Bending To use a pipe bender, simply place the pipe in between the two levers, then pull the adjustable lever until the desired angle is achieved.

The 15mm 22mm pipe bender or tube bender is an essential part of the toolkit for any heating or plumbing engineer. It would be impossible to list every tube configuration that might be problematic but a few possibilities are; I have a gas central heating system. The original radiators are connected by 8mm microbore pipe. The radiator in the extension (which already has a Drayton TRV4) is on 15mm pipe. The standard finish of the benders is a bright zinc plate on the Arms with rumbled aluminium Former and Lever castings. We will also be making available special editions with different finishes to the castings. Some of the Monument Masters have received laser etched and polished castings which look fantastic! Differences compared to a combi bender A. If your pipe is thin walled and your equipment is not clean (Answered by Colin Stainer Plumbing & Heating on 27 Jan 2021)

Mini Bender 6/8/10mm

Place the Lever Arm over the positioned pipe and place the Lever Hook onto the Pivot Pins, ensure the Nylon Guide is seated. Buy the Monument Bender Single Sized – 1215K-XV 1315- XVE (1315Longarm-XVL) 1222G-XXII 1322Extended-XXIIE Pipe benders are one of the most valuable weapons in a plumbers' arsenal. Their easy-to-use design make them a must-have for any kind of metal pipework or plumbing application. There is no maximum limit to the radius from roll bending, except of course leaving the tube straight, which is the same as an infinite bend radius! Dual pipe bender - Dual pipe benders are the most common type of bender and are available in a wide range of shapes and sizes. When the levers are pulled fully, they provide a 90 degree bend.

Pipe benders are used to bend metal pipes - such as stainless steel and copper pipes - to form a range of curves and angles. We believe the 1215K-XV, the 1315XVE, the 1315Longarm-XVL, the 1222G-XXII and the 1322Extended-XXIIE are easier to use than a combi bender: The Monument single sized pipe bender measurements can be seen in the image. 15mm standard version is approximately 460mm and the standard 22mm version is approximately 670mm. Combi Bender 2600K MON2600 When bending pipes and tubes, having the correct shoe in place for the size of pipe being bent will ensure a clean and smooth bend and will stop the pipe from crimping and becoming compromised. Certain pipe benders are designed with a specific material in mind, such as copper, and many are also compatible with a bench vice for when more heavy-duty bending is required.The Monument Masters 1215K-XV, 1315-XVE, 1315Longarm-XVL , 1222G-XXII and 1322Extended-XXIIE create similar bend radiuses to a Monument 2600K combi bender; in fact the 1222G has a slightly tighter radius that the 2600K combi bender, as this radius is tighter it creates a slightly different profile on the outside of the bend when compared to a combi. Compression tube bending, is akin to bending a copper pipe around your knee; you are holding one end of the tube stationary and forming the tube into shape around the former (in this case your knee). The next step up is a simple manual pipe bending tool, a type often used by plumbers for copper tube. To produce more complex multi-bend components, for small diameter tube where it is possible to bend it manually, hand bending jigs use compression bending. Some quite elaborate shapes can be produced. Free standing pipe bender - Free standing pipe benders are the biggest, most robust type of bender for heavy duty applications. They stand upright on their own stand, giving users the ability to use both hands - providing the strength required to bend heavy pipes.
