Irwin HILGLM Hilmor Glm Pipe Bender including The Guides & Box Hilglm, 15mm-22mm

Product Information

Simply because they’re a well known brand in the plumbing industry, a tonne of engineers go for Rothenberger. The Monument single sized pipe bender measurements can be seen in the image. 15mm standard version is approximately 460mm and the standard 22mm version is approximately 670mm. Combi Bender 2600K MON2600 And let’s face it, two separate guides just mean you have two more things to lose, and two more things you’ve got to find in your van every morning. Overall, the pipe bender works very well for the 4mm diameter pipe that I have tried it on, but the radius of the bends it makes is around 12.5mm.

We believe the 1215K-XV, the 1315XVE, the 1315Longarm-XVL, the 1222G-XXII and the 1322Extended-XXIIE are easier to use than a combi bender: A. Cheap thin wall copper doesn’t help the issue, there was a batch a few years ago that was actually snapping. Damaged formers or the guide on bender itself can also do it. Or guides, formers that are not clean (Answered by PG Plumbing on 26 Jan 2021) lighter in the hand than a combi. The Monument combi weighs more than 4kg; the XV weighs 1.5kg; the XXII weighs 2.3kgMonument have reengineered a design previously unseen on the UK market. The (launched in June 2020 ) pipe benders, 1215K XV 15mm Pipe Bender, the 1315XVE 15mm (1315Longarm XVL 15mm) , the 1222G XXII 22mm and the 1322Extended XXIIE 22mm Pipe Benders deliver force to bend the pipe in the same plane as the bend. The traditional combi bender such as the Hilmor ® GLM or Irwin ® GLM or Monument ® MON2600 are offset from the bending plane.

Rubber feet are available code 2607F which fit the 1215K, 1315XVE, 1315Longarm, 1222G, 1322Extended. Two rubber feet are included in the 22mm versions. The rubber feet also fit the Monument 15mm/22mm combi bender 2600K. Spare formers and guides are essential accessories for pipe benders, as they help to ensure accurate and consistent bends in pipes. Formers are shaped pieces of metal or plastic that are placed inside the pipe to help guide it as it is being bent. Guides are used to hold the pipe in place and prevent it from slipping or moving during the bending process. It is well documented that soldered fittings and compression fittings interrupt the flow of water around a heating system. Bending of copper pipe ensures unrestricted flow of water and can also create attractive, crafted finishes on installations.

Pipe wall size is a lot thinner than it used to be, plus the pipe bender former could be stiff (Answered by D S plumbing and heating on 26 Jan 2021) The Monument Masters 1215K-XV, 1315-XVE, 1315Longarm-XVL , 1222G-XXII and 1322Extended-XXIIE create similar bend radiuses to a Monument 2600K combi bender; in fact the 1222G has a slightly tighter radius that the 2600K combi bender, as this radius is tighter it creates a slightly different profile on the outside of the bend when compared to a combi. If you’re working with microbore, unfortunately, there isn’t a set from Hilmore currently available in the UK.

The 2600K includes 15mm and 22mm aluminium guides. These guides are available as spares;15mm 2601N and 22mm 2603T. These guides also fit Irwin® and Hilmor® GLM. The 15mm 22mm pipe bender or tube bender is an essential part of the toolkit for any heating or plumbing engineer. A. Cheap thin copper but even expensive copper ripples. But makes a big difference with running wire wool over the guides first. Keep them clean. Found the wee monument benders don’t ripple the pipe as much. Great wee benders (Answered by Roy Millar Plumbing and Heating on 26 Jan 2021) We have included bending angles of 30 45 60 and 90 degrees on the XV and XVL 15mm versions and an additional 75 degree angle on the 22mm version; these are easily visible on the Former of each bender. The standard finish of the benders is a bright zinc plate on the Arms with rumbled aluminium Former and Lever castings. We will also be making available special editions with different finishes to the castings. Some of the Monument Masters have received laser etched and polished castings which look fantastic! Differences compared to a combi bender

Let’s be honest. There’s a tonne of rubbish on the market right now. Where there’s a top brand offering premium products, there’s a “copy” flogging absolute junk for half the price.
