Rothenberger - 180° Standard Tube Bender for 10 mm Pipes - 25132

Features of the Rothenberger Standard 180° Tube Bender

The Rothenberger standard 180° 10mm tube bender (item code 25132) is a professional tool designed for precise bending of copper, brass, aluminum, and thin-walled steel tubes. Made with high-quality materials, this tool ensures perfect bends up to 180 degrees without deforming or ovalizing the tube, maintaining the internal diameter and thus ensuring the correct flow of fluids.

Technical Specifications

This tube bender is specifically calibrated for tubes with an outer diameter of 10 mm, with a bending capacity of up to 180°. The robust high-strength steel structure ensures durability and consistent performance over time. The ergonomic design with a non-slip handle allows optimal control during the bending operation, reducing the necessary effort and increasing work precision. Its low weight of approximately 0.5 kg makes it easy to handle even in confined spaces or awkward positions.

Practical Advantages

Using the Rothenberger tube bender offers numerous benefits compared to other bending methods: it eliminates the need for fittings in bends, reducing potential leak points in the system and lowering material costs; it allows for precise bends with constant radii, improving the aesthetics of exposed installations; it reduces fluid flow resistance thanks to uniform bends without constrictions. The integrated graduated scale allows for replicating identical angles on multiple tubes, ensuring uniformity in complex installations.

Ideal Applications

This tool is used in multiple sectors:

• Installation and maintenance of domestic and industrial plumbing systems
• Construction of heating and air conditioning systems
• Installation of gas systems according to current regulations
• Creation of refrigeration circuits
• Artistic and artisanal metalworking
• Automotive repairs for brake and fuel lines

Instructions for Optimal Use

To achieve the best results with the Rothenberger tube bender, it is recommended to: thoroughly clean the tube before bending to avoid scratches or marks; apply a light layer of specific lubricant to facilitate sliding and protect the tube surface; perform bending with fluid and constant movements, avoiding jerks that could cause deformation; for bends greater than 90°, proceed gradually, checking the obtained angle before continuing. This methodical approach guarantees professional results even for less experienced users.

Maintenance and Storage

To preserve the efficiency of the tube bender over time, minimal maintenance is sufficient: remove any lubricant residue or dirt after use with a clean cloth; periodically check the tightening of screws and moving components; store the tool in a dry environment, preferably in its original packaging or a protective case. By following these simple precautions, the Rothenberger tube bender will maintain its performance for years, representing a lasting investment for professionals and DIY enthusiasts.
