Product Information
Full details
The Speedfit Cold Forming Bend is an essential plumbing accessory for professional installers and DIY enthusiasts who need to achieve tight-radius pipework without damaging or kinking the tubing. This component allows you to create bends that are tighter than the standard unsupported minimum, ensuring a professional and neat finish in confined spaces. While it offers excellent versatility across various pipe materials and systems, users must remember that when using polybutylene pipe, specific inserts are strictly required to maintain structural integrity.

FAQs
Can I use these with 22mm pipe?
No, this specific pack is designed for 15mm pipe. You would need the 22mm variant for larger pipework.
Do I need to leave the bend on the pipe permanently?
These can be used as a forming aid during installation and removed, though they are often left in place for added protection and structural support.
Is this safe for hot water systems?
Yes, these are suitable for both hot and cold water systems, as well as heating applications.
Are pipe inserts included in the pack?
No, pipe inserts must be purchased separately if your project requires them for polybutylene pipe.
Where are these manufactured?
All Speedfit Cold Forming Bends are designed, manufactured, and assembled in the UK.
Troubleshooting
Pipe seems too loose inside the bend
Verify that you are using 15mm pipe as specified; this component is not compatible with 22mm or other pipe diameters.
Polybutylene pipe is leaking at the connection
Ensure that the correct pipe insert is installed inside the polybutylene pipe, as the insert is mandatory for this material.
Difficulty bending the pipe even with the tool
Ensure the pipe is not being bent beyond its physical limit; cold forming is meant to assist tighter bends, not create extreme kinks.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Prevents pipe kinking during installation
- Works with both plastic and metal piping
- Enables installations in tight, compact spaces
- Durable construction ensures a long-lasting bend
- Easy to integrate into existing Speedfit systems

- Requires pipe inserts for polybutylene pipe
- Not intended for non-plumbing pipe materials
- Limited to 15mm diameter pipe specifications
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To use the cold forming bend, slide the component over the 15mm pipe at the desired bend location. When working with polybutylene barrier pipe, ensure that the appropriate pipe insert is fully seated within the pipe end before connection. While the product is designed for longevity, inspect the bend for any debris before installation to ensure a smooth surface finish. If removing after the pipe has set, handle with care to avoid scratching the surface of copper pipes.
