Oypla Heavy Duty Plumbers Pipe Bender Tool With 15mm and 22mm Formes

Product Information

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. However, as microbore is notoriously weak, it’s not like you need anything heavy duty. #2 – Monument Mini Pipe Benders The single sizes of each bender with their shorter bending arms and lightweight aluminium die casting makes each bender lighter to carry and the design of the 15mm-XV is small enough to fit inside a toolbag. Problem? We’ve creased pipes (and had to junk that section) using cheap pipe benders multiple times. Usually, a lightweight product is a good thing. Take a cordless impact driver for instance. The lighter, the better.lighter in the hand than a combi. The Monument combi weighs more than 4kg; the XV weighs 1.5kg; the XXII weighs 2.3kg But when it comes to buying new ones, I guess it’s Silverline that stands out as the biggest contender to Hilmor. 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.

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. A. Cheap thin wall copper doesn’t help the issue, there was a batch a few years ago that was actually snapping. Damaged formers or the guide on bender itself can also do it. Or guides, formers that are not clean (Answered by PG Plumbing on 26 Jan 2021) Thanks for reading our 5-minute review of the best copper pipe benders for plumbers and heating engineers. 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: throating occurs on testing with the XV, XVE (XVL) XXII, XXIIE as well as Monument 2600K and a Hilmor® GLMSimply because they’re a well known brand in the plumbing industry, a tonne of engineers go for Rothenberger. better sight lines – as the bend is in the same plane as the Arms of the bender it is easier to line up by eye Buy the Monument Bender Single Sized – 1215K-XV 1315- XVE (1315Longarm-XVL) 1222G-XXII 1322Extended-XXIIE The 15mm pipe bender also known as tube bender is an essential part of the toolkit for any heating or plumbing engineer.
