Rothenberger ROBEND H+W Plus, 16 mm/ 5/8", with handle - 24516

Professional Tube Bender for Plumbing and Heating Installations

The Rothenberger ROBEND H+W Plus is a professional tool specifically designed for precise bending of copper, brass, stainless steel, and thin-walled steel pipes with a diameter of 16 mm or 5/8 inches. This manual tube bender is the ideal solution for plumbers, heating technicians, and industry professionals who need to make precise and uniform bends without deforming or ovalizing the pipe.

Key Technical Features

The 24516 model features a robust, ergonomic handle that ensures a firm grip during bending operations, reducing the effort required and increasing control during use. The bending former is designed to ensure perfect bends with a constant radius, avoiding constrictions or deformations that could compromise fluid flow within the pipe.

This tube bender can make bends up to 90° with a single fluid motion, guaranteeing professional results even in confined spaces. The pipe clamping system ensures that the material remains firmly in place throughout the bending operation, preventing slipping and inaccuracies.

Practical Advantages in Daily Use

Using the ROBEND H+W Plus offers numerous benefits to professional installers:

• Time and material savings due to the ability to make precise bends without the need for additional fittings
• Greater hydraulic efficiency of the system due to uniform bends that do not reduce the passage section
• Superior aesthetic result in exposed installations, with perfectly uniform bends
• Reduced physical effort thanks to the ergonomic handle and optimized lever mechanism
• High durability of the tool thanks to robust construction with high-quality materials

Ideal Applications

The Rothenberger ROBEND H+W Plus is optimally used in numerous professional contexts:

• Installation of domestic and industrial heating systems
• Creation of plumbing systems for bathrooms and kitchens
• Assembly of air conditioning and refrigeration systems
• Maintenance and repair of existing pipelines
• Solar thermal installations and heat distribution systems

Detailed Technical Specifications

The tube bender is designed to operate on pipes with an outer diameter of 16 mm (equivalent to 5/8 inch), a size commonly used in residential plumbing and heating systems. The structure is made of high-strength steel with surface treatments that ensure durability and corrosion resistance even in difficult working environments.

The low weight and compact dimensions make this tool easily transportable in a toolbox, while the manufacturing precision ensures that the bending angle corresponds exactly to the indications on the tool's graduated scale. The bending radius is optimized to ensure minimum stress on the material, extending the pipe's useful life and reducing the risk of micro-fractures.

Tool Maintenance and Care

To keep the tube bender in optimal condition, it is advisable to regularly clean the moving parts and apply a light layer of lubricant to the pivot points. After use, it is important to remove any material residue and store the tool in a dry environment to prevent oxidation of the metal parts.
