Amtech C2970 15mm and 22mm Pipe Bender

Product Information

This makes them great for remote working, or for working near any pipes that don't have a power source nearby. When choosing a pipe bending machine, it is important to consider the degree of angle required and the diameter of the pipe you are working with. And let’s face it, two separate guides just mean you have two more things to lose, and two more things you’ve got to find in your van every morning.

We have also designed bending arm extension handles to increase the leverage for bending both 15mm 22mm copper pipe. Thanks for reading our 5-minute review of the best copper pipe benders for plumbers and heating engineers. Bespoke automakers often use them to bend exhaust pipes and other automotive accessories into shape.

Diameter - Similar to the degree, ensure your pipe bender can accommodate the size of pipe you work with. A pipe bender applies to the pipe by the former as it passes through the guides to form the desired angle. Before you remove the pipe from the Former, view your bend angle; remove the pipe if it is correct, or if necessary, reapply the Lever Arm and increase the bend angle.

The standard finish of the benders is a bright zinc plate on the Arms with rumbled aluminium Former and Lever castings. Place the Lever Arm over the positioned pipe and place the Lever Hook onto the Pivot Pins, ensure the Nylon Guide is seated. Many pipe benders or tube bender kits will be designed for a specific job or application, so choose wisely.We have included bending angles of 30 45 60 and 90 degrees on the XV and XVL 15mm versions and an additional 75 degree angle on the 22mm version; these are easily visible on the Former of each bender. Close the Arms of the benders and continue until the required bend angle is achieved, rotate the lever back to the start angle to release the two Arms. Their easy-to-use design make them a must-have for any kind of metal pipework or plumbing application.

They're designed for reliability, durability, and strength, with many professionals getting decades of use from their tube bender kits. 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. It goes without saying creasing affecting the integrity of the pipe long term, and that’s a big no-no. The user then pulls the level as necessary to pressure the pipe into forming a perfect bend around the shoe.

It is well documented that soldered fittings and compression fittings interrupt the flow of water around a heating system. We have included bending angles of 30 45 60 and 90 degrees on the XV and XVL 15mm versions and an additional 75 degree angle on the 22mm version; these are easily visible on the Former of each bender.

The traditional combi bender such as the Hilmor ® GLM or Irwin ® GLM or Monument ® MON2600 are offset from the bending plane.So read on our review of the best copper pipe benders for plumbing pros, and DIY junkies and learn as we explain why we use the Hilmor copper pipe benders, and what the other options are. The 15mm pipe bender also known as tube bender is an essential part of the toolkit for any heating or plumbing engineer. The 15mm XXIIE with its extended arms gives more mechanical advantage over the 15mm XXII, making it even easier to make a bend. They are designed to withstand the pressure put on them when bending a pipe, whilst still maintaining a flawless bend in any given pipe. com Limited is an Introducer Appointed Representative of CarMoney Limited who are authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority, FRN 674094.
