Pipe 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. 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)

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.

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) The 15mm 22mm pipe bender or tube bender is an essential part of the toolkit for any heating or plumbing engineer.

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 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. 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. Differences compared to a combi bender 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.
