FAQs

What types of pipes are these bending springs compatible with?

These springs are compatible with Multi-Layer Composite Pipe (MLCP), Pert-Al-Pert, and Pex-Al-Pex pipes.

How do I ensure I get a perfect bend?

Slide the spring onto the pipe, ensuring it covers the bend area. Bend the pipe slowly and steadily to the desired angle. The spring will help maintain the pipe's shape and prevent kinks.

Are these springs suitable for professional use?

Yes, they are designed to help achieve professional-quality bends and are suitable for both professional plumbers and DIY enthusiasts.

Can I use these for very tight bends?

These springs assist in achieving uniform bends. For extremely tight bends, always consult your pipe manufacturer's specifications regarding minimum bend radii.

What material are the springs made from?

They are constructed from durable and resilient materials designed for longevity and reliability.

How should I clean and store the springs?

After use, clean them with a damp cloth and store them in a dry location to prevent corrosion.

What is the size of these specific bending springs?

This product is for 16mm external pipe bending springs.

Troubleshooting

Pipe kinks despite using the spring

Ensure the spring is correctly sized for the pipe and fully covers the bend area. Try bending more slowly and deliberately. Check if the spring is damaged or deformed.

Spring is difficult to slide on or off

Verify that the spring is the correct size for the pipe diameter. Ensure the pipe surface is clean and free of burrs. Apply a small amount of lubricant if necessary, but ensure it's compatible with your pipe material.

Spring doesn't seem to provide enough support

Confirm you are using the correct type and size of spring for the pipe material and the required bend radius. For very sharp bends, consider a different bending method or tool if the pipe manufacturer allows.
