When choosing a pipe bender, consider the diameter of the pipe and the angles you may require before making your selection. Ratchet pipe bender - Ratchet pipe benders look much different to other pipe benders as they use a lever to 'push' the pipe into shape. On a few benders we seem to have overtigtened the nyloc nut and bolt which has reduced the gap on the Lever Arm. This is one of the reasons plumbers prefer to use a copper pipe bender rather than simply cut the pipe and put a bend fitting like an elbow into the run to change direction. 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.Original guides were lost or stolen, I bought brand new Rothenberger guides, pipe bender is used as you can see in the images but I have not used it since I bought the guides. 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. If you’re working with microbore, unfortunately, there isn’t a set from Hilmore currently available in the UK.

When Monument look to design, manufacture and market a new product we look to create products which will save the engineer time. 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. If you’re installing a whole run of heating/gas pipe, swapping out the guides is going to turn into a real bug-bear. Bespoke automakers often use them to bend exhaust pipes and other automotive accessories into shape.To get over this, aluminium formers (6) are placed between the hook (1) and the pipe and also between the stay (3) and the pipe.
