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.

In addition to formers and guides, there are also a range of other spare parts and accessories available for pipe benders. These can include replacement handles, ratchets, and hydraulic cylinders, as well as spare batteries and charging kits for cordless benders. The curved former has angles marked on outer edge for 45 and 90 degrees, a nice simple visual aid although approximate. So, why do we use the Hilmore GLM tube benders, when there’s quite obviously others around the same price, and even more on offer for much less. Monument 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. 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.

Usually, a lightweight product is a good thing. Take a cordless impact driver for instance. The lighter, the better.

Before you remove the pipe from the Former, view your bend angle; remove the pipe if it is correct, or if necessary, reapply the Lever Arm and increase the bend angle.

less fiddly– with the integrated hook and nylon guide, your hook stop won’t flop from side to side and the guide(s) won’t fall out Therefore, you may still need to do as I did and make your own pipe bender, but if you want 12.5mm bend radiuses for 3, 4 or 6mm diameter pipes then this Record Irwin pipe bender would be ideal. The 15mm 22mm pipe bender or tube bender is an essential part of the toolkit for any heating or plumbing engineer.

The nylon guides are integral to the pipe bender helping to ensure they don’t get lost or damaged in a toolbag. Codes for these spare guides are 1216N 15mm Spare Nylon Guide and 1223J 22mm Spare Nylon Guide. XV is much smaller than a combi; arm length is 40cm compared to a combi arm length of 65cm. Note the 15mm XVL & 22mm XXII arm lengths are about 60cm They weigh under 500g, and that’s pretty-lightweight, but they certainly provide more than enough power to get the job done.There are several types of formers and guides available, including standard formers, multi-radius formers, and offset formers. Standard formers are used for making straight bends in pipes, while multi-radius formers are used for making bends with multiple radii. Offset formers are used for making bends that are offset from the center of the pipe. 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.

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: The price differential between Hilmor compared with Stanley and Rothenberger is just too small, and Hilmor offer so much more in terms of quality. 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. We have also designed bending arm extension handles to increase the leverage for bending both 15mm 22mm copper pipe. These short threaded extension handles code 1224M fit both the 15mm XV XVE & XVL and 22mm XXII versions. One or more extension handles can be added for additional leverage.The grooves are nice and clean and the two parts of the former align cleanly and grip the pipe well. better sight lines– as the bend is in the same plane as the Arms of the bender it is easier to line up by eye
