The single sizes of each bender with their shorter bending arms and lightweight aluminium die casting makes each bender lighter to carry and the design of the 15mm-XV is small enough to fit inside a toolbag.

Pipe benders are used to bend metal pipes - such as stainless steel and copper pipes - to form a range of curves and angles. If you’re installing a whole run of heating/gas pipe, swapping out the guides is going to turn into a real bug-bear.The traditional combi bender such as the Hilmor ® GLM or Irwin ® GLM or Monument ® MON2600 are offset from the bending plane. Dual pipe bender - Dual pipe benders are the most common type of bender and are available in a wide range of shapes and sizes. The 15mm pipe bender also known as tube bender is an essential part of the toolkit for any heating or plumbing engineer.

Automatic pipe benders are available - however many professionals prefer the simplicity and manual control achieved with a manual pipe bender.When initially launched on the UK market Monument ensured that the hook stop was redesigned so as to not mark the pipe. If you’re working with microbore, unfortunately, there isn’t a set from Hilmore currently available in the UK. These are available in Monument brand widely available across the UK from plumbers merchants and e-tailers MON2600 2600K, Instinct® brand INST2600 from PHG independent plumbers merchants and also from UKPS plumbers merchants including Plumbase under Entity® brand ENT2600. Many pipe benders or tube bender kits will be designed for a specific job or application, so choose wisely.

The Monument® and Shetack® branded catalogue from June 1933 clearly shows a version of a portable pipe bender / tube bender being sold over 85 years ago.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. This makes them great for remote working, or for working near any pipes that don't have a power source nearby.
