Rothenberger - Standard 180° Tube Bender 14mm - 25134

Features of the Rothenberger 180° Standard Tube Bender

The Rothenberger 180° Standard Tube Bender for 14mm pipes (item code 25134) is a professional tool specifically designed for the precise bending of copper, brass, aluminium, and thin-walled steel pipes. This manual tool allows for bends of up to 180 degrees with a 14mm diameter, ensuring professional results without deformation or ovalisation of the pipe.

Technical Specifications

The Rothenberger tube bender is made with high-quality materials that ensure resistance and durability over time. The robust steel structure is designed to withstand the stresses during bending operations, while the shaped die allows for uniform and precise bends. Model 25134 is specifically calibrated for pipes with a 14mm outer diameter, with a bending capacity of up to 180 degrees. The bending radius is optimized to prevent constrictions and maintain the internal flow unchanged.

Practical Advantages

Using the Rothenberger tube bender offers numerous benefits compared to other bending methods:

• Eliminates the need for fittings in bends, reducing potential leak points
• Allows for savings on fitting costs and installation time
• Ensures uniform and precise bends, improving the aesthetic of the system
• Maintains the internal cross-section of the pipe, ensuring optimal flow
• Reduces the hydraulic resistance of the system
• Prevents the formation of turbulence in fluid flow

Ideal Applications

This tube bender is used in various sectors and applications:

• Installation and maintenance of domestic and industrial plumbing systems
• Creation of heating and air conditioning systems
• Installation of refrigeration systems
• Creation of lines for gas and compressed air
• Repair and modification work on existing systems
• Construction projects requiring precisely bent pipes

Instructions for Optimal Use

To achieve the best results with the Rothenberger tube bender, it is advisable to follow some practical tips. First, ensure that the pipe is clean and free of dents. Position the pipe in the die, aligning it correctly with the references. Apply constant and progressive pressure during bending, avoiding abrupt movements that could cause deformation. For large radius bends, it is advisable to proceed gradually, periodically checking the obtained angle.

Maintenance and Care of the Tool

The Rothenberger tube bender requires minimal maintenance to maintain its performance over time. After use, simply clean the tool of any residue and occasionally lubricate the moving parts with light oil. Store the tool in a dry environment, preferably in its original packaging or a protective case, to avoid accidental impacts that could damage the die or alter the precision of the tool.

Compatibility and Versatility

Model 25134 is part of the professional Rothenberger range, a German company with over 70 years of experience in manufacturing tools for plumbers and technicians. This tube bender is compatible with annealed copper, brass, aluminium, and thin-walled steel pipes with an outer diameter of 14mm. Its ergonomic design allows for working even in confined spaces, where the use of other bending systems would be problematic.
