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). 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.

In this particular instance, we have designed a smaller and lighter weight pipe bender than the standard combination 15and 22mm hand bender.

Rubber feet are available code 2607F which fit the 1215K, 1315XVE, 1315Longarm, 1222G, 1322Extended. First models of the new pipe bender were designed and 3D printed in the engineering suite at Monument. 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. 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. 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.

The nylon guides are integral to the pipe bender helping to ensure they don’t get lost or damaged in a toolbag.If you’re installing a whole run of heating/gas pipe, swapping out the guides is going to turn into a real bug-bear. If you have questions about this product, please contact your local authorized sales and service center. It is well documented that soldered fittings and compression fittings interrupt the flow of water around a heating system.
