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. Place the Lever Arm over the positioned pipe and place the Lever Hook onto the Pivot Pins, ensure the Nylon Guide is seated. 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. 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.

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 outBending copper pipe can be done properly in two ways, ether a tool called a bending spring is used or a more substantial tool called a proprietary plumbers copper pipe bender is used. A. If your pipe is thin walled and your equipment is not clean (Answered by Colin Stainer Plumbing & Heating on 27 Jan 2021) We are currently using Royal Mail Parcelforce and DPD as our delivery providers, all small items will be delivered by Royal Mail, these can take up to three working days to reach you. Monument have reengineered a design previously unseen on the UK market. 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. The traditional combi bender such as the Hilmor ® GLM or Irwin ® GLM or Monument ® MON2600 are offset from the bending plane.

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. pipe, bent with a spring is ok, but do not expect a very tidy job and read our project about how to box the pipes in afterwards as although it will probably do the job it will need hiding away! 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.We have also designed bending arm extension handles to increase the leverage for bending both 15mm 22mm copper pipe. These short threaded extension handles code 1224M fit both the 15mm XV XVE & XVL and 22mm XXII versions. One or more extension handles can be added for additional leverage. We posed this question through the Tooltalk App (see all the answers in the app available for iOS or Android AOS). throating occurs on testing with the XV, XVE (XVL) XXII, XXIIE as well as Monument 2600K and a Hilmor® GLM XV is much smaller than a combi; arm length is 40cm compared to a combi arm length of 65cm. Note the 15mm XVL & 22mm XXII arm lengths are about 60cm

The 2600K includes 15mm and 22mm aluminium guides. These guides are available as spares;15mm 2601N and 22mm 2603T. These guides also fit Irwin® and Hilmor® GLM. The images shown here are of multi pipe benders and mini pipe benders. The multi bender, as the name suggests, will take many different sizes of pipe, while the mini bender will take the smaller diameter pipes. 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) The formers are sized at different pipes sizes and are about 150mm long. Now, as you close the handle, the former pushes the pipe round the wheel former giving you a perfect, kink free bend.

Also, as with any other system in a house which contains many parts, the greater the number of pieces involved, the more there is to go wrong. If a pipe can be bent to do the job, it is impossible for it to leak. If it has fittings in the run, it certainly can! How to Bend Copper Pipe The Monument Masters 1215K, 1315XVE (replacing the 1315Longarm ), 1222G and the 1322Extended Pipe Bender are #MadeInBritain. First models of the new pipe bender were designed and 3D printed in the engineering suite at Monument. We standardised the handle diameters for both sizes. Pipe benders come in a variety of sizes catering for copper pipes from 6mm to 38mm and are operated by hand. Mechanical benders deal with pipes bigger than this. The 15mm pipe bender also known as tube bender is an essential part of the toolkit for any heating or plumbing engineer.

better sight lines– as the bend is in the same plane as the Arms of the bender it is easier to line up by eyeWhen Monument look to design, manufacture and market a new product we look to create products which will save the engineer time. In this particular instance, we have designed a smaller and lighter weight pipe bender than the standard combination 15and 22mm hand bender. Within this area you will find a great deal of information including how to pull 90 degree bends with 50mm offset bends at 30 degrees allowing you to bend round vertical pipe runs with a horizontal pipe run you are placing. Bending pipes with a pipe bender is difficult. Its not actually difficult to bend the pipe, but bending the pipe in the right place is a different ball game. Working out the diameter of the bend and linking it to the place in the run where you want the bend to start and finish can only be done with practice and we would very strongly suggest you buy extra pipe to practice with. 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)
