Rothenberger Die for ROBEND 3000/4000, 1.1/8' - 25626

Former for ROBEND 3000/4000, 1.1/8 - Precision and Reliability in Bending

The Rothenberger 25626 former is an essential accessory designed specifically for ROBEND 3000 and 4000 electro-hydraulic bending machines. With a size of 1.1/8 (28.5 mm), this former allows for precise and uniform bends on copper, stainless steel, carbon steel pipes, and other materials compatible with the technical specifications of Rothenberger bending machines.

Technical Features

The former is made of high-strength steel, heat-treated to ensure durability and consistent performance even after repeated use. The 1.1/8 (28.5 mm) diameter makes it ideal for industrial refrigeration systems, air conditioning, and high-flow hydraulic applications. The geometry of the former has been designed to minimize pipe deformation during bending, maintaining the internal cross-section unchanged and ensuring proper fluid flow.

Compatibility and Use

This former is perfectly compatible with ROBEND 3000 and 4000 models, integrating into the Rothenberger bending system without the need for additional adapters. Mounting on the bending machine is simple and quick thanks to the secure coupling system that ensures stability during bending operations. For optimal results, it is recommended to use the former with pipes compliant with current regulations and to follow the manufacturer's instructions regarding maximum bending angles.

Practical Applications

The 25626 former is used in numerous professional sectors:

• Installation of commercial and industrial refrigeration systems
• Construction of high-capacity air conditioning systems
• Hydraulic installations in commercial and industrial buildings
• Construction of systems for the transport of pressurized fluids
• Maintenance and repair of existing systems

Operational Advantages

Using the Rothenberger 25626 former offers numerous benefits to professional installers:

• Significant reduction in processing times compared to manual methods
• Elimination of the need for fittings for changes in direction, resulting in cost savings
• Greater hydraulic safety due to the absence of joints at bending points
• Aesthetically superior results in exposed installations
• Precise bends with angles up to 180° (depending on pipe material and thickness)

Maintenance and Storage

To preserve the efficiency of the former over time, it is advisable to clean it after each use, removing any lubricant or material residues. It is important to store it in a dry environment, preferably in the original Rothenberger case or in a container that protects it from impact and dust. Periodically check the integrity of the contact surface with the pipe to ensure consistently perfect bends.

Safety Specifications

When using the former, it is essential to comply with the manufacturer's instructions regarding bendable materials and maximum thicknesses. Exceeding recommended limits could damage both the former and the bending machine, as well as compromise the quality of the final result. It is recommended to wear personal protective equipment during bending operations and to operate on stable surfaces.
