Rothenberger - External Pipe Bending Spring for Copper, 12mm - 25183

Features of the Rothenberger 25183 pipe bending spring

The Rothenberger 25183 copper pipe bending spring is a professional tool specifically designed for bending copper pipes with an outer diameter of 12mm. Made from high-quality materials, this external spring ensures precise and uniform bends without deforming or crushing the pipe. The spiral design allows for even distribution of pressure during bending, preventing pipe collapse and maintaining the intact circular section even in the tightest bends.

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 conditioning and refrigeration systems
• Creation of copper gas lines
• Plumbing repairs in confined spaces where precise bends are required
• DIY projects requiring shaped copper pipes

Advantages of the Rothenberger pipe bending spring

Using the Rothenberger 25183 pipe bending spring offers numerous benefits compared to other bending methods:

• Eliminates the need for additional fittings, reducing potential leak points
• Saves time and material by avoiding superfluous joints
• Ensures aesthetically pleasing bends with uniform radii
• Prevents crushing and deformation of the pipe during bending
• Lightweight and portable tool, easily transportable in a toolbox
• Does not require electrical power or energy sources
• Economical solution compared to more expensive mechanical pipe benders

Technical specifications

The Rothenberger 25183 pipe bending spring has the following technical characteristics:

• Compatible diameter: 12mm external
• Material: High-quality hardened spring steel
• Type: External spring (applied to the outer surface of the pipe)
• Length: Optimized to allow bends up to 180°
• Flexibility: Calibrated to balance strength and adaptability
• Compatibility: Specific for copper pipes according to standard regulations

Instructions for correct use

To achieve the best results with the Rothenberger 25183 pipe bending spring, it is advisable to follow these steps:

• Ensure the pipe is clean and free of dents
• Insert the pipe completely into the spring, positioning the central part of the spring at the point where you want to make the bend
• Bend the pipe gradually, applying uniform pressure
• Avoid abrupt bends that could damage the pipe despite the spring's protection
• For bends greater than 90°, proceed progressively
• When finished, gently remove the spring with a rotating motion

Maintenance and storage

The Rothenberger pipe bending spring requires minimal maintenance. It is recommended to clean it after each use to remove any copper residue or impurities, and to store it in a dry environment to prevent rust formation. With proper care, this tool will ensure optimal performance for years, representing a lasting investment for professionals and DIY enthusiasts.
