Rothenberger External Tube Bending Spring for Copper, 3/8" - 25188

Features of the Rothenberger 25188 Pipe Bending Spring

The Rothenberger 25188 pipe bending spring is a professional tool specifically designed for bending 3/8 inch (approximately 10 mm) copper pipes. Made from high-quality materials, this external spring allows for precise bends without deforming or crushing the pipe, maintaining its circular cross-section and ensuring proper fluid flow. The spiral design offers the right resistance during bending, evenly distributing pressure across the entire pipe surface and preventing kinks or ovalization.

Practical Applications

This pipe bending spring is used in numerous professional and domestic contexts, proving indispensable for:

• Installation and maintenance of domestic plumbing systems
• Construction of heating and air conditioning systems
• Installation of gas systems compliant with regulations
• Refrigeration and air conditioning work
• Plumbing repairs in confined spaces where precise bends are required
• Creating custom connections in solar thermal systems

Technical Advantages

The Rothenberger 25188 pipe bending spring offers several benefits that make it an essential tool for professionals and DIY enthusiasts:

• Ease of use: requires no additional equipment or power sources
• Precision: allows for bends with a constant and uniform radius
• Versatility: ideal for 3/8 inch copper pipes used in many applications
• Durability: constructed with resistant materials to ensure a long operational life
• Portability: lightweight and compact, easily transportable in a toolbox
• Damage prevention: avoids crushing and deformation of the pipe during bending

Technical Specifications

The Rothenberger 25188 pipe bending spring has the following technical characteristics:

• Compatible diameter: 3/8 inch (approximately 10 mm)
• Type: external spring (applied to the outer surface of the pipe)
• Material: heat-treated spring steel to ensure elasticity and strength
• Length: sized to allow bends up to 180 degrees
• Compatibility: specifically for copper pipes according to international standards
• Product code: 25188

Instructions for Correct Use

To achieve the best results with the Rothenberger pipe bending spring, follow these steps:

• Fully insert the spring onto the copper pipe in the area to be bent
• Ensure the spring extends beyond the bending zone on both sides
• Apply gradual and constant pressure during bending
• Avoid abrupt movements that could cause kinks or deformations
• For bends greater than 90 degrees, proceed gradually, checking the quality of the bend
• After use, remove the spring with a rotating motion to avoid damaging the pipe

Maintenance and Storage

To preserve the efficiency and durability of the Rothenberger 25188 pipe bending spring, it is important to follow some simple maintenance rules. After each use, clean the spring of any residue or dust. Store the tool in a dry environment to prevent rust or oxidation. Avoid forcing the spring beyond its elastic limits to avoid compromising its functionality. With proper maintenance, this tool will ensure optimal performance for many years of professional use.
