Rothenberger - MULTIBEND 180° Manual Tube Bender for 12mm Copper Pipes - 25402

Features of the Rothenberger MULTIBEND 180°

The Rothenberger MULTIBEND 180° (article number 25402) is a professional tool designed for precise bending of copper, brass, aluminum, and thin-walled steel pipes with a diameter of 12mm. This manual pipe bender allows for bends up to 180° with a constant radius, ensuring professional results even in the most complex installations. The robust steel structure and high-quality finish ensure durability and reliability over time, making it a sound investment for professionals and DIY enthusiasts.

Technical and practical advantages

The MULTIBEND stands out for its bending precision, eliminating the risk of pipe deformation or crushing. The ratchet mechanism allows for gradual and controlled force application, reducing the effort required during operation. The integrated graduated scale enables precise and repeatable angle bends, essential for professional installations. The ergonomic shape of the handles provides a secure and comfortable grip, reducing fatigue during prolonged use.

Ideal applications

This pipe bender is used in numerous professional sectors and applications:

• Domestic and industrial plumbing installations
• Heating and air conditioning systems
• Refrigeration systems
• Solar thermal systems
• Gas line construction
• Manufacturing of automotive components
• Artistic and decorative metalwork

Detailed technical specifications

The MULTIBEND 180° is specifically calibrated for 12mm pipes, with bending capacity up to 180°. The bending radius is optimized to prevent constrictions and maintain the unaltered internal section of the pipe. Its light weight of approximately 1.2 kg makes it easily transportable, while its compact dimensions allow for use in confined spaces. The bending die is made of a special material that prevents scratches and marks on the pipe surface, ensuring an aesthetically impeccable result.

Tips for optimal use

To achieve the best results with the MULTIBEND, it is advisable to mark the pipe in advance at the points where you want to make the bend. Applying a light lubricant to the die can facilitate pipe sliding and reduce the necessary effort. For consecutive bends, it is important to consider the minimum length of the straight section between two bends, generally no less than 2-3 times the pipe diameter. In the case of particularly rigid materials, it is recommended to proceed gradually, applying force progressively to avoid excessive tension on the material.

Maintenance and storage

The MULTIBEND requires minimal maintenance to maintain its performance over time. After use, simply clean the tool of any residues and lightly lubricate the movable parts. It is advisable to store it in a dry environment, preferably in its original packaging or a protective case, to avoid accidental impacts that could compromise the precision of the bending die. With proper maintenance, this Rothenberger tool will ensure years of reliable use and consistent professional results.
