Rothenberger - Tube Bender MAXI Set for Copper Pipes 12-15-18-22 mm - 023020X

Features of the Rothenberger TUBE BENDER MAXI Set

The Rothenberger TUBE BENDER MAXI Set (article number 023020X) is a professional kit designed for the precise bending of copper, brass, aluminium, and thin-walled steel pipes. This comprehensive set includes dies for pipes with diameters of 12, 15, 18, and 22 mm, allowing for bends up to 180° with an optimal bending radius that prevents deformation and kinking.

Components and technical specifications

The set consists of a robust manual pipe bender with an ergonomic lever and interchangeable dies made of hardened steel. The die-cast aluminium construction ensures lightness and strength, while the ratchet mechanism allows for progressive bending with minimal effort. The dies are colour-coded for quick identification of different sizes and feature polished surfaces that do not damage the pipes during processing.

Practical advantages

The MAXI pipe bender offers numerous benefits to professional installers: it significantly reduces the need for fittings in plumbing and heating installations, lowering material costs and potential leakage points. The ergonomic design with a non-slip grip allows for applying the necessary force without hand fatigue, while the quick-locking system for the dies speeds up size changes during work.

Ideal applications

This tool is used in multiple sectors: domestic and industrial plumbing installations, heating systems, refrigeration and air conditioning systems, renewable energy (solar thermal), and shipbuilding. The ability to create precise and repeatable bends makes the TUBE BENDER MAXI indispensable for jobs where aesthetics and functionality are fundamental requirements.

Quality and durability

Rothenberger, a German company with over 70 years of experience in manufacturing tools for plumbers, guarantees the highest construction quality. The selected materials and heat treatments applied to the mechanical parts ensure a long lifespan for the tool, even under intensive use. The dies maintain their precision over time thanks to the special steel from which they are made.

Practicality and transport

The set comes in a sturdy plastic case with custom-fit compartments for each component, facilitating transport and protecting the tools from bumps and dust. The low weight of the entire kit (approx. 4 kg) makes it easily transportable to construction sites or different work stations.

Tips for optimal use

To achieve the best results with the TUBE BENDER MAXI Set, it is recommended to:

• Always check the compatibility of the pipe with the tool's specifications
• Apply a light layer of lubricant to the contact surfaces to reduce friction
• Perform bending with smooth and progressive movements
• Regularly clean the dies of residues and debris
• Store the set in the original case after use

Compliance and certifications

The Rothenberger TUBE BENDER MAXI Set complies with European regulations on manual tool safety and meets ISO 9001 quality standards. The precision of bends made with this tool meets the requirements of the main plumbing and heating sector regulations.
