Rothenberger MULTIBEND, 180°, 16mm / 5/8" - 25405

Features of the Rothenberger MULTIBEND 180°

The Rothenberger MULTIBEND 180° (item code 25405) is a professional tool designed for precise bending of copper, brass, aluminum, and soft steel pipes with a diameter of 16mm or 5/8 inches. This manual bender allows for bends up to 180 degrees in a single movement, ensuring professional results without deformation or ovalization of the pipe.

Technical Specifications

The MULTIBEND 180° features a robust die-cast aluminum structure that ensures durability and lightness during use. The bending die is designed with an optimal radius to prevent constrictions and maintain unchanged internal flow. The device is equipped with a graduated scale that allows for precise angles from 0° to 180°, enabling repeatability in series production. Its low weight of approximately 1.2 kg makes it manageable even in confined spaces or during prolonged work.

Practical Applications

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

• Installation and maintenance of domestic and industrial plumbing systems
• Construction of heating and air conditioning systems
• Installation of refrigeration lines and systems
• Construction of solar thermal systems
• Artisan and artistic metalwork
• Automotive repairs and custom pipe fabrication

Operational Advantages

The MULTIBEND 180° offers several benefits that make it an essential tool for professionals and craftsmen:

• Precise bending without deformation or crushing of the pipe
• Maintenance of the circular section even in the tightest bends
• Ability to create close bends thanks to its compact design
• Reduced processing times compared to traditional methods
• Elimination of the need for fittings in many installations
• Improved aesthetic appearance of exposed installations
• Reduced pressure losses due to uniform bends

Construction Quality

Like all Rothenberger tools, the MULTIBEND 180° is manufactured according to high quality standards. Selected materials ensure resistance to wear and mechanical stress, while the contact surfaces with the pipe are designed not to damage or scratch the material during bending. The ergonomic lever allows the necessary force to be applied with minimal effort, reducing fatigue during prolonged use.

Tips for Optimal Use

To achieve the best results with the MULTIBEND 180°, it is recommended to:

• Ensure the pipe is perfectly clean and free of dents
• Fully insert the pipe into the appropriate seat before starting to bend
• Apply constant and progressive pressure during the operation
• Use specific bending lubricants for particularly hard materials
• Apply a slight overbend (1-2°) to compensate for the material's springback

Maintenance and Storage

The MULTIBEND pipe bender requires minimal maintenance. It is sufficient to keep it clean from residues and dust, periodically check the tightness of the fastening screws, and occasionally lubricate moving 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 tool.
