Rothenberger - Internal Bending Spring MSR 16 mm - 25443

Features of the Rothenberger MSR Tube Bending Spring

The Rothenberger MSR tube bending spring with an internal diameter of 16 mm (item code 25443) is an essential tool for plumbing and heating professionals. Specifically designed for bending copper, aluminum, and thin-walled steel pipes, this internal spring ensures precise bends without deforming or crushing the material. Made of high-quality spring steel, it offers the necessary strength to maintain its shape during the bending operation, while also providing the elasticity to be easily removed from the tube after use.

Practical Applications

This 16mm tube bending spring is used in numerous professional contexts and applications:

• Installation of domestic and industrial plumbing systems
• Assembly of heating and air conditioning systems
• Creation of connections for boilers and water heaters
• Installation of gas systems in compliance with regulations
• Repairs and maintenance of existing piping
• Creation of custom pipe routes in confined spaces

Technical Advantages

Using the Rothenberger tube bending spring offers several significant benefits during installation operations:

• Prevents crushing and ovalization of the tube during bending
• Maintains the internal section of the tube, ensuring correct fluid flow
• Allows for bends with a constant and uniform radius
• Enables precise angles up to 90°
• Reduces the risk of micro-fractures in the material
• Eliminates the need for additional fittings, reducing potential leakage points
• Saves time and material in installations

Technical Specifications

The Rothenberger MSR tube bending spring stands out for the following technical characteristics:

Method of Use

To achieve optimal results with the Rothenberger tube bending spring, it is recommended to follow these steps:

1. Fully insert the spring into the tube to be bent
2. Ensure the spring extends beyond the point where the bend is desired
3. Perform the bend manually or with the aid of an external tube bender
4. Apply gradual and constant pressure during the operation
5. Once the bend is complete, extract the spring with a rotating motion

Maintenance and Storage

To preserve the efficiency and durability of the Rothenberger tube bending spring, it is important to follow some simple maintenance rules. After each use, clean the spring of any residues or impurities. Store the tool in a dry environment to prevent rust formation. Periodically, apply a light coat of protective oil to the spring's surface to maintain its elasticity and strength over time. Avoid forcing the spring beyond its bending capabilities to prevent compromising its structure.
