Silverline Mini Pipe Bender 6 - 10mm (MS129)

Product Information

If you have questions about this product, please contact your local authorized sales and service center. The Monument® and Shetack® branded catalogue from June 1933 clearly shows a version of a portable pipe bender / tube bender being sold over 85 years ago. On a few benders we seem to have overtigtened the nyloc nut and bolt which has reduced the gap on the Lever Arm. 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.

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. We have also designed bending arm extension handles to increase the leverage for bending both 15mm 22mm copper pipe. First models of the new pipe bender were designed and 3D printed in the engineering suite at Monument. In this particular instance, we have designed a smaller and lighter weight pipe bender than the standard combination 15and 22mm hand bender.Thanks for reading our 5-minute review of the best copper pipe benders for plumbers and heating engineers. 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.

We posed this question through the Tooltalk App (see all the answers in the app available for iOS or Android AOS). The 15mm 22mm pipe bender or tube bender is an essential part of the toolkit for any heating or plumbing engineer. If you’re installing a whole run of heating/gas pipe, swapping out the guides is going to turn into a real bug-bear. These are available in Monument brand widely available across the UK from plumbers merchants and e-tailers MON2600 2600K, Instinct® brand INST2600 from PHG independent plumbers merchants and also from UKPS plumbers merchants including Plumbase under Entity® brand ENT2600. Bending of copper pipe ensures unrestricted flow of water and can also create attractive, crafted finishes on installations.If you’re working with microbore, unfortunately, there isn’t a set from Hilmore currently available in the UK.

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.Each reader of the template should consult with his or her own qualified engineer prior to using the whole or any part of the template. 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. It is well documented that soldered fittings and compression fittings interrupt the flow of water around a heating system.

The complete catalog contents must be reviewed to ensure that the system designer and user make a safe product selection. A. Cheap thin wall copper doesn’t help the issue, there was a batch a few years ago that was actually snapping. 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. It goes without saying creasing affecting the integrity of the pipe long term, and that’s a big no-no.

The standard finish of the benders is a bright zinc plate on the Arms with rumbled aluminium Former and Lever castings. When initially launched on the UK market Monument ensured that the hook stop was redesigned so as to not mark the pipe.
