Rothenberger - MULTIBEND 180° pipe bender for 18mm copper pipes - 25406

Key Features of the Rothenberger MULTIBEND 180°

The Rothenberger MULTIBEND 180° (item code 25406) is a professional tool specifically designed for bending copper, brass, and soft steel pipes with a diameter of 18mm. This manual pipe bender allows for precise bends up to 180 degrees, ensuring professional results even in the most complex installations. Its robust high-strength steel structure guarantees durability and consistent performance over time, making it a reliable investment for professionals in the plumbing, HVAC, and refrigeration sectors.

Technical and Functional Advantages

The MULTIBEND 180° stands out for its ability to perform precise bends without deforming or crushing the pipe, thus preserving optimal internal flow. The bending mechanism has been designed to require minimal effort, reducing fatigue during prolonged use. The integrated graduated scale allows for precise and repeatable angles, a fundamental element for professional installations that require perfect alignments. The quick-lock pipe system speeds up operations, increasing efficiency on the job site.

Practical Applications

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

• Installation of residential and commercial plumbing systems
• Creation of heating and air conditioning systems
• Maintenance and repair of existing systems
• Creation of refrigeration lines
• Gas installations compliant with regulations
• Renewable energy projects such as solar thermal systems

Detailed Technical Specifications

The MULTIBEND 180° is designed to operate with 18mm diameter pipes, with a maximum compatible thickness of 1.0mm for copper and brass pipes and 0.8mm for soft steel pipes. The standard bending radius is 72mm (4 times the pipe diameter), ensuring harmonious bends that meet industry standards. The tool has a low weight of approximately 2.3 kg and compact dimensions that facilitate transport and use even in confined spaces. The anti-scratch surface finish protects the tool from corrosion and extends its useful life.

Tips for Optimal Use

To achieve the best results with the MULTIBEND 180°, it is advisable to follow some simple practices:

• Check that the pipe is clean and free of dents before bending
• Use specific lubricant for bending on soft steel pipes
• Perform bending with smooth and constant movements
• Respect the minimum bending radius to avoid crushing
• Regularly clean the tool after use, especially the bending former and counter roller

Tool Maintenance and Care

The MULTIBEND 180° requires minimal maintenance to keep its performance unchanged over time. It is recommended to regularly clean the moving parts and occasionally apply a light layer of lubricating oil to the pivot points. Store the tool in a dry environment when not in use and periodically check the tightening of the fastening screws. Rothenberger guarantees the availability of spare parts, thus ensuring a long operating life for the tool even with intensive use.
