FAQs

What types of pipes can I use with this bender?

This pipe bender is designed for use with copper pipes only.

What is the maximum bending angle?

The bender can bend pipes up to 90 degrees.

What pipe sizes are supported?

The kit includes formers for 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, and 22mm pipes.

How do I change the bending formers?

The bending formers are designed for quick and simple changes. Just unscrew or detach the current former and attach the desired one.

How do I maintain the hydraulic system?

Regularly check for leaks and ensure all moving parts are lubricated.

What should I do if the pipe crimps during bending?

Ensure you are using the correct size former for the pipe diameter. Make sure the pipe wall thickness is within the specified range (0.8 - 1.5mm). Try bending the pipe more slowly and smoothly.

Can I use this bender for stainless steel pipes?

No, this bender is specifically designed for copper pipes and should not be used for other materials like stainless steel.

Troubleshooting

The pipe is not bending properly.

Ensure the correct former size is selected for the pipe diameter. Check that the pipe is correctly inserted and aligned within the former. Make sure the wall thickness is within the specified range (0.8 - 1.5mm).

The bender is difficult to operate.

Check and lubricate the hydraulic mechanism. Ensure the pipe is properly seated in the former. Avoid bending pipes outside the specified diameter and wall thickness.

The pipe is crimping during the bend.

Ensure the pipe is of the correct wall thickness. Try bending the pipe more slowly and smoothly. Check the former for any damage.
