Amtech C2970 15mm and 22mm Pipe Bender

Product Information

When Monument look to design, manufacture and market a new product we look to create products which will save the engineer time. In this particular instance, we have designed a smaller and lighter weight pipe bender than the standard combination 15and 22mm hand bender. We are currently using Royal Mail Parcelforce and DPD as our delivery providers, all small items will be delivered by Royal Mail, these can take up to three working days to reach you.

A. Pipe wall size is a lot thinner than it used to be, plus the pipe bender former could be stiff (Answered by D S plumbing and heating on 26 Jan 2021) A. Cheap thin copper but even expensive copper ripples. But makes a big difference with running wire wool over the guides first. Keep them clean. Found the wee monument benders don’t ripple the pipe as much. Great wee benders (Answered by Roy Millar Plumbing and Heating on 26 Jan 2021)

The Best Copper Pipe Benders

The 15mm XXIIE with its extended arms gives more mechanical advantage over the 15mm XXII, making it even easier to make a bend. Included are two extension handles which are threaded and fit into the ends of the benders arms. 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: A. Over the years been a few reasons, main reason I find or is poor quality copper! Other reason dirt on the guides generally a good clean and oil or dw40 sorts it out, had once with bender that had been dropped and it was slightly twisted (Answered by B H heating solutions on 26 Jan 2021) A. If your pipe is thin walled and your equipment is not clean (Answered by Colin Stainer Plumbing & Heating on 27 Jan 2021)

So, why do we use the Hilmore GLM tube benders, when there’s quite obviously others around the same price, and even more on offer for much less. If you’ve not used copper pipe benders before, you’ve probably never creased a pipe. It goes without saying creasing affecting the integrity of the pipe long term, and that’s a big no-no. The 15mm 22mm pipe bender or tube bender is an essential part of the toolkit for any heating or plumbing engineer. The price differential between Hilmor compared with Stanley and Rothenberger is just too small, and Hilmor offer so much more in terms of quality.It is well documented that soldered fittings and compression fittings interrupt the flow of water around a heating system. Bending of copper pipe ensures unrestricted flow of water and can also create attractive, crafted finishes on installations. They weigh under 500g, and that’s pretty-lightweight, but they certainly provide more than enough power to get the job done. If you’re working with microbore, unfortunately, there isn’t a set from Hilmore currently available in the UK. 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.

Let’s be honest. There’s a tonne of rubbish on the market right now. Where there’s a top brand offering premium products, there’s a “copy” flogging absolute junk for half the price. Problem? We’ve creased pipes (and had to junk that section) using cheap pipe benders multiple times. Mark the pipe where you want start of the bend. Position the pipe in the Former under the Retaining Hook. Position the start of bend vertically in line with the Pivot Pin.Monument have reengineered a design previously unseen on the UK market. The (launched in June 2020 ) pipe benders, 1215K XV 15mm Pipe Bender, the 1315XVE 15mm (1315Longarm XVL 15mm) , the 1222G XXII 22mm and the 1322Extended XXIIE 22mm Pipe Benders deliver force to bend the pipe in the same plane as the bend. The traditional combi bender such as the Hilmor ® GLM or Irwin ® GLM or Monument ® MON2600 are offset from the bending plane. Simply because they’re a well known brand in the plumbing industry, a tonne of engineers go for Rothenberger. They're designed for reliability, durability, and strength, with many professionals getting decades of use from their tube bender kits.
