Rothenberger - 90° Standard Tube Bender for 22mm Copper Pipes - 462222

Rothenberger Standard Tube Bender: precision and reliability for 22mm pipes

The Rothenberger Standard 90° Tube Bender (item code 462222) is a professional tool specifically designed for bending copper, brass, aluminum, and thin-walled steel pipes with a diameter of 22mm. This manual tool allows for precise 90-degree bends without deforming or flattening the material, ensuring professional results in every application.

Key Technical Features

The Rothenberger 462222 tube bender features a robust high-strength steel structure, designed to last over time even with intensive use. The bending die is made with high-quality materials that ensure uniform pressure distribution during bending, preventing ovalization or pinching of the pipe. The lever mechanism offers excellent mechanical advantage, reducing the effort required to bend even the most resistant materials.

Practical Applications

This tube bender is used in numerous professional sectors and applications:

• 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 lines
• Work on solar thermal systems
• Repairs and modifications to existing systems

Operational Advantages

Using the Rothenberger 462222 tube bender offers numerous benefits compared to other solutions:

• Elimination of the need for additional fittings, resulting in cost savings and reduction of potential leakage points
• Improved hydraulic flow thanks to uniform bends without constrictions
• Reduced installation times compared to using soldered or pressed fittings
• Greater aesthetic appeal of visible installations thanks to perfectly regular bends
• Possibility of making bends in confined spaces where traditional fittings would be difficult to install

Detailed Technical Specifications

The Rothenberger Standard tube bender has the following specifications:

• Pipe diameter: 22mm
• Bending angle: 90°
• Bending radius: compliant with industry standards
• Structure material: high-strength steel
• Finish: anti-corrosion treatment
• Ergonomic handle to reduce fatigue during prolonged use
• Low weight for easy use even in awkward positions

Tips for Optimal Use

To achieve the best results with the Rothenberger tube bender, it is advisable to:

• Check that the pipe is clean and free of dents before bending
• Apply constant and progressive pressure during the operation
• Use specific lubricants for particularly resistant materials
• Perform a slight overbend to compensate for the material's springback
• Clean and store the tool in a dry environment after use

Maintenance and Durability

The Rothenberger 462222 tube bender requires minimal maintenance. It is recommended to regularly clean the moving parts and occasionally apply a light layer of lubricant to the pivot points to maintain smooth movement. With these simple precautions, the tool will maintain its optimal performance for years, representing a lasting investment for professionals and plumbing enthusiasts.
