About this deal

The user then pulls the level as necessary to pressure the pipe into forming a perfect bend around the shoe.

This turbulence in the water can cause air bubbles which, if allowed to collect, can cause air locks. Bending copper pipe accurately requires some measurement and angle work so please do not think you can just go and hire a copper pipe bender to get a perfect job first time, it takes some practice. Ratchet pipe bender - Ratchet pipe benders look much different to other pipe benders as they use a lever to 'push' the pipe into shape. Pipe springs can be used in pipes up to 22mm diameter but bending a 22mm pipe with a spring is a herculean task which none of us would attempt. If you are going to try this method, I would suggest Woods Metal, available from Reeves ( possibly other suppliers too?

While I was replumbing the 5" gauge Class 5 loco that I own,I made use of a Record mini pipe bender,and found it easy enough to use. 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. Another method is to machine a groove in a piece of bar, the groove width being the diameter of the pipe and the inside diameter to suit the radius of the bend. If trying to make small radius bends in 1/4" copper pipe, any idea please, of what would be the smallest practical radius possible?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. Pipe fittings change direction very quickly to allow tight corners to be formed but the very tightness of these corners can reduce the effectiveness of the pipe run. However, if the stay was allowed to come in contact with the pipe directly, as soon as you pulled on the handles the stay would crush the pipe. Now, as you close the handle, the former pushes the pipe round the wheel former giving you a perfect, kink free bend.

Dual pipe bender - Dual pipe benders are the most common type of bender and are available in a wide range of shapes and sizes. Their easy-to-use design make them a must-have for any kind of metal pipework or plumbing application.You will not see many plumbers using springs however as it is very hard to keep the bend neat and to the correct diameter. When the handles are pulled together, the stay (3) which is attached to one of the handles, pulls the pipe down and around the wheel former creating the bend.
