Rothenberger External Tube Bending Spring for Copper, 1/2" - 25190

Features of the Rothenberger 25190 Tube Bending Spring

The Rothenberger 25190 tube bending spring is a professional tool specifically designed for bending 1/2 inch (12-15 mm diameter) copper pipes. Made from high-quality steel, this external spring ensures precise and uniform bends without deforming or flattening the pipe. The spiral design evenly distributes pressure during bending, preserving the circular cross-section of the pipe and maintaining an unaltered internal flow.

Practical Applications

This tool is used in numerous professional and DIY contexts:

• Installation and maintenance of domestic plumbing systems
• Construction of heating systems
• Installation of air conditioners and refrigeration systems
• Repair of copper pipes in confined spaces
• Creation of custom fittings for special systems
• Renovation work and new constructions

Technical Advantages

The Rothenberger tube bending spring offers several benefits compared to other bending methods:

• Prevents crushing and deformation of the pipe during bending
• Allows for bends with a constant and uniform radius
• Eliminates the need for additional fittings, reducing potential leak points
• Enables working in confined spaces where mechanical pipe benders would be difficult to use
• Ensures optimal hydraulic flow by preserving the pipe's internal cross-section
• Reduces installation times compared to using elbow fittings

Technical Specifications

The Rothenberger 25190 tube bending spring has the following specifications:

• Material: High-quality hardened spring steel
• Compatible diameter: 1/2 inch (12-15 mm)
• Type: External spring (applied to the outer surface of the pipe)
• Length: Sized to allow bends up to 180°
• Weight: Lightweight for easy handling
• Finish: Corrosion-resistant surface treatment

Instructions for Correct Use

To achieve the best results with the Rothenberger tube bending spring:

• Insert the pipe completely into the spring, ensuring that the area to be bent is centered
• Bend the pipe gradually by applying uniform pressure
• Avoid excessively tight bending angles that could compromise the integrity of the pipe
• For bends greater than 90°, proceed progressively, checking the quality of the bend
• After use, remove the spring with a rotating motion to avoid damaging the pipe

Maintenance and Storage

The Rothenberger 25190 tube bending spring requires minimal maintenance. It is sufficient to keep it clean and dry after each use to prevent oxidation. It is recommended to store it in a flat position to avoid permanent deformation that could compromise its effectiveness. With proper maintenance, this tool guarantees reliable and long-lasting performance, representing a valuable investment for professionals and DIY enthusiasts.

Compatibility and Versatility

The Rothenberger tube bending spring integrates perfectly with other tools in the Rothenberger range, a German company with over 70 years of experience in producing professional tools for plumbers and technicians. It is compatible with copper pipes that comply with European standards, ensuring optimal results in combination with the most common welding and joining techniques in the plumbing sector.
