Rothenberger - 180° Standard Tube Bender for 15mm Copper Pipes - 25135

Rothenberger 180° Standard Tube Bender: Precision and Reliability

The Rothenberger 15 mm 180° standard tube bender (code 25135) is a professional tool designed for precise bending of copper, brass, aluminum, and thin-walled steel tubes. This manual tool allows for bends up to 180 degrees with a diameter of 15 mm, ensuring professional results without material deformation or ovalization.

Technical Specifications

The Rothenberger tube bender is constructed with high-quality materials that ensure strength and durability over time. The robust steel structure is designed to withstand the stresses of bending even on more resistant materials. Model 25135 is specifically calibrated for tubes with a 15 mm outer diameter, one of the most common sizes in domestic plumbing and heating systems.

The ergonomic handle design offers a firm and comfortable grip, reducing the effort required during bending operations. The optimized lever mechanism multiplies the applied force, allowing tubes to be bent with minimal physical effort even when working with stiffer materials.

Practical Advantages

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

• Prevents crushing and ovalization of tubes during bending, maintaining the internal cross-section and ensuring proper fluid flow
• Eliminates the need for additional fittings, reducing potential leak points in the system
• Saves time and material by avoiding waste and unnecessary cuts
• Allows for precise bends with controlled angles up to 180 degrees
• Ensures aesthetically pleasing finishes, particularly important in exposed installations

Professional Applications

This tube bender is used in numerous professional sectors:

• Installation and maintenance of domestic and industrial plumbing systems
• Construction of heating and air conditioning systems
• Installation of gas systems in compliance with safety regulations
• Construction of refrigeration circuits
• Precision metal carpentry work

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 tube diameter exactly matches that of the bender (15 mm). Position the tube correctly in the appropriate seat, aligning it with the references on the tool. Apply gradual and constant pressure during bending, avoiding sudden movements that could compromise the quality of the bend.

For particularly challenging bends or when working with more resistant materials, it may be helpful to apply a light layer of specific lubricant to the outer surface of the tube. This precaution reduces friction and facilitates the sliding of the material during deformation.

Maintenance and Storage

The Rothenberger tube bender requires minimal maintenance to maintain its performance over time. After use, it is advisable to clean the tool of any residues or metal dust and store it in a dry environment. Periodically, it is appropriate to check the correct alignment of the movable parts and, if necessary, apply a light layer of lubricating oil to the pivot points to ensure smooth and precise movements.
