Rothenberger Tube Bender Standard, 180°, 16mm/5/8" - 25136

Features of the Rothenberger 25136 Standard Tube Bender

The Rothenberger 180° Standard Tube Bender for 16mm/5/8 (item code 25136) is a professional tool designed for precise bending of copper, brass, aluminum, and thin-walled steel pipes. Made with high-quality materials, this tool ensures perfect bends up to 180 degrees without deforming or ovalizing the pipe, maintaining the internal section intact and ensuring correct fluid flow.

Technical Specifications

This tube bender is specifically calibrated for 16mm or 5/8 inch pipes, with a bending capacity of up to 180 degrees. The robust hardened steel construction ensures resistance and durability even under intensive use. The optimized lever mechanism reduces the effort required during the bending operation, allowing for precise bends with minimal physical effort. The ergonomic handle design offers a secure and comfortable grip, reducing fatigue during prolonged use.

Practical Advantages

Using the Rothenberger 25136 tube bender offers numerous benefits compared to other bending methods:

• Eliminates the need for additional fittings, reducing potential leakage points in the system
• Allows for material cost savings by reducing the number of necessary joints
• Ensures aesthetically pleasing and professional bends, ideal for exposed installations
• Prevents crushing and deformation of the pipe, maintaining unaffected flow capacity
• Enables the creation of precise bends with constant radii, impossible to achieve manually

Ideal Applications

The Rothenberger Standard Tube Bender is used in various 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
• Creation of refrigeration circuits
• Artistic and decorative metalwork

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 diameter exactly matches the tool's measurement (16mm/5/8). Before bending, make sure the pipe is clean and free of dents. Position the pipe in the bender's groove, aligning it correctly with the references. Apply gradual and constant pressure to the lever, avoiding sudden movements that could cause deformation. For bends greater than 90 degrees, it is advisable to proceed incrementally, progressively checking the achieved angle.

Maintenance and Storage

To preserve the efficiency and durability of the Rothenberger tube bender, regular maintenance is important. After use, clean the tool of any residues or metal dust. Periodically apply a light layer of lubricant to the moving parts to keep the mechanism smooth. Store the tool in a dry environment, preferably in its original packaging or a protective case, to avoid accidental bumps or damage. With these simple precautions, the Rothenberger 25136 tube bender will maintain its performance for many years, representing a lasting investment for professionals and enthusiasts in the sector.
