the mayor come a time when you need to
bend a piece of copper pipe it can be
difficult to bend or it can be easy to
bend then you can get special machines
for bending it if you want to do
complicated bends it is very difficult
and you need a quite a bit of experience
but to do a simple Bend it's not
difficult and you can do it with some
very basic tools one thing I'd like to
point out is if you've got a piece of
pipe that big and you consider even
bending it it's going to be extremely
difficult you're much better off with a
long piece like that that will give you
more leverage when you put in your Bend
into the pipe so the first thing you
need to do once you've cut your pipe is
to deburr it if you don't deep Berger
you're going to struggle putting your
bending spring in but we're just going
to give this a quick feed but now I'm
going to take our bending spring and you
need to get the correct size bending
swing for the pipe that you bend it in
this particular case this is a 15 mil
bending spring and this is 15 mil copper
pipe so as you take the bending spring
and feed it into the pie sometimes it's
a lot tighter fit than that and
sometimes you have to special twist it
to get it in if you want to bend further
down the pipe you should tie a piece of
swing to that end a piece of really
tough sling and then you can pull it
back out again afterwards but in this
particular case we just need to put a
bend in it about where sort once you've
got your spring in position all you need
to do is make sure it can come out you
can put a screwdriver to it if you want
to stop your going out all the way in
but you can just hold it so I'm just
going to grip it there I'll need to put
a bend in this somewhere around there so
I'm now just going to get it on mini and
I'm just going to press down
and you can see that that pipe is now
bent so I don't actually need a
90-degree Bend I just need a Bend of
approximately that angle so I'm going to
leave it at that now and I'm now going
to pull the bending spring back out once
up till night you can see that I've got
the bend in the copper pipe so what I
can do now is I can put it in position
and Academical sit using a patch lice
and I can get it to the correct length
so that's also quickly bend copper pipe
