When choosing a pipe bender, you'll be faced with a few options. Many pipe benders or tube bender kits will be designed for a specific job or application, so choose wisely. The nylon guides are integral to the pipe bender helping to ensure they don’t get lost or damaged in a toolbag. Codes for these spare guides are 1216N 15mm Spare Nylon Guide and 1223J 22mm Spare Nylon Guide. The primary function of a pipe bender is to bend pipes. Simply insert a pipe into the tool, then close the levers to carefully bend the pipe to the correct angle. Pipe benders work by enclosing the pipe around a hard 'shoe'. The user then pulls the level as necessary to pressure the pipe into forming a perfect bend around the shoe.Once we move to larger diameters and stiffer material, like steel, then machine power becomes essential and draw bending is the normal forming method used. The key difference is that the tooling pulls or draws the tube around the former tool. In fact, rather than the tube being clamped behind the former it is clamped to the former and the clamp and former rotate with the tube drawn around the former in an arc behind it, just pressed to the former by a pressure die. If you need more than one bend in your tube the next question to consider is can they all be to the same radius.
Pipe benders are used when piping needs to bend to fit around an obstacle, or through a gap. Bespoke automakers often use them to bend exhaust pipes and other automotive accessories into shape. 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) less fiddly– with the integrated hook and nylon guide, your hook stop won’t flop from side to side and the guide(s) won’t fall out Pipe and tube benders typically feature two handles that control a guide over a former, also known as a shoe. Depending on the size of the pipe being bent, using longer handle arms will require less force for the user to achieve a clean bend. Some pipe benders come with interchangeable shoes to accommodate different pipe sizes, whereas others will be fixed-use benders for a specific pipe size. To use a pipe bender, simply place the pipe in between the two levers, then pull the adjustable lever until the desired angle is achieved.Mark the pipe where you want start of the bend. Position the pipe in the Former under the Retaining Hook. Position the start of bend vertically in line with the Pivot Pin.
Ratchet pipe bender - Ratchet pipe benders look much different to other pipe benders as they use a lever to 'push' the pipe into shape. Their smaller form factor makes them great for jobs where space is limited, and their crossbow-like design makes them excellent for bending pipes that are already attached to the wall. It would be impossible to list every tube configuration that might be problematic but a few possibilities are;Buy the Monument Bender Single Sized – 1215K-XV 1315- XVE (1315Longarm-XVL) 1222G-XXII 1322Extended-XXIIE
