Bending 28mm

[jase158]

Hi all, does anybody know the ways to bend 28mm copper, is it only using hilton pipe bender stands or is there another way, mechanical/ hydraulic?

You can use a hydraulic bender. But for long term I would invest in a floor standing bender

 

[jase158]

yeah but £400? thats a lot of money

 

[SimonJohns]

Not if your buying alot of fittings or paying rent on a hydraulic bender

I use mine most of the time don't like hand benders only for small stuff like cylinder ect

Neither, helping my dad out with a bit of work, will need probably 10 bends in total. He buys all fittings, thing is that is it worth using for 15mm and 22mm aswell? found one for £303 might have to bite the bullet me thinks.

And will have for future if needed

Monument 833E Internal Copper Pipe Bending Spring 28mm - Transtools

You can buy a 28mm bending spring so I assume if you anneal it you can bend it, although never tried it.
