Yes, replacement guides, formers, and hook stops are available separately.
Can I bend other sizes of pipe?
No, this bender is specifically designed for 15mm and 22mm pipes.
What angles can I bend?
The formers are marked for 30, 45, and 90-degree bends.
Do I need any other tools?
You may find the MON2626 Bending Arm Extension helpful for easier bending of 22mm pipes. Otherwise, the bender comes with everything you need for the specified pipe sizes.
How do I clean the bender?
Wipe down the bender and formers with a clean, dry cloth after each use to remove any debris or moisture.
How should I store the bender?
Store the bender in a dry place to prevent rust and damage.
Troubleshooting
Pipe kinks during bending.
Ensure the pipe is properly aligned with the former and guide. Apply slow, steady pressure. Consider using the bending arm extension for 22mm pipes if needed.
Bends are not accurate.
Double-check that the pipe is correctly positioned relative to the angle markings on the former. Make sure the former is securely attached and the pipe is fully seated before bending.
Difficulty bending the pipe.
For thicker walled pipes, apply pressure gradually and consider using the bending arm extension for increased leverage. Ensure the pipe material is within the bender's specifications.
