Took me a good while to master pipe bending. I look back at the end result and think to myself wow. That's art and great craftsmanship. Excellent tutorial James 👊.
oh my, I went through 4 videos and wasted time finding one for pipe bends with complete instructions!!! Yours is complete and wonderful! Thanks so much!!! love your vids!
We did our first lesson in pipe bending at college last week and I just could not get it. This was the 3rd video I saw on how to get the measurements/angles right, and it's perfect! So much easier and simpler than what my tutor at college was trying to get us to do it by. Cheers mate, I'll be coming back to your channel for more!
James your knowledge around plumbing and everything in general is ace , you was taught extremely well. But what iam impressed with is the way you conducted your videos the way you explain things is something else i find it very hard to understand stuff being thick the way I learn is by hands on rather than theory. But the way you explain even i understand you explain better then my teacher when i first started but not only that your work is outstanding you take proper pride in it . I would honestly travel and work with you for free just for the pure knowledge
Very good explanation and couple good tricks there too. I learned the hard way by tool manufacturers leaflet. Not the easiest way to go. Definitely going to mark those multipliers on my tool.
Thanks for the info, great video. For the angle guide lamination, i covered mine in layers of clear tape on each side (wider tape a lot easier). About 3 layers and its about as rigid as a laminator does.
I jumped straight in as it was more or less straight forward, you can always stop, test and keep doing that until its right. Uncoiling microbore pipe is something else and using the hand tool on microbore is so much fun.
Emigrate to North America. Canucks and Yanks use fittings everywhere. I was sent pics of a first fix in Canada that was all elbows and straight lengths... To be concealed later, and with fewer supports than I'd have liked... Discussing it with another (US) tradesman, I was told he wasn't permitted under their "code" (regs) to bend tube. I sent him a couple of pics of rad drops in my house, 22 and 15, offset to miss the upstairs floor joist and my coving and asked him whether he'd prefer to see two knuckle elbows in each offset... can't remember what the response was, but I know which I prefer... The days will come here, when fittings will become the norm...
I have the same model of bender as this and that is how I found you. Thank you for the knowledge to use it properly. I just finished a job which went perfectly for a change and in half of the time. Ha.
Right I'm having a day in the shed your soldering video was great really helped me so and now this time to practice and order some more copper pipe 🤘🤘🤘
I don't know your skill level, but let me give you one piece of advice: if you are learning or you are an amateur - avoid MAP. Start/do the job on propane.
Ever tried using rigid benders? Has the bending bar built in and all the markings on it already. Seems a lot quicker and less clunky than having that separate piece to move around all the time
Great channel mate! Some really good content here, I've enjoyed watching all your videos and seeing how you work and having a good laugh. I did my C&G Plumbing and heating Lv2/Lv3 back in 2014 but I walked away from the trade after struggling to find an apprenticeship. I've done little jobs here and there since leaving college but I just couldn't seem to get the ball rolling. Looking back I really feel like I missed the boat. Any advice for someone looking to get back into the trade/re-training. Appreciate any advice in advance! Once again mate great channel! Keep up the good work!
excellent video man, I have done a lot of stainless tube bending with swage lock and needed to figure out how to use this particular bender as it dose not state the degrees on this bender like the swage lock model
How are you able to complete your bend with the copper pipe that is available nowadays (extremely thin wall), i used to be able to complete perfect bends without any kinks, not now there are always a series kinks om the inside of the bend. Any advice with this would be appreciated. Thanks.
I was wondering if the pipe you are using is soft copper pipe, I tried to bend some type L hard copper pipe and it kept breaking in half that's the only pipe the big box stores sell in my area. The searches I did online shows the soft copper comes in a coil and from the video you are not using coils.
Great video mate again, what’s the most different bends you or anyone has ever done on one length of pipe? Like a 90 pass over and then another 90 all on one length?
Brilliant film and just in time for me, before I start to replace my central heating system pipe work in 15mm instead of 10mm. Hopefully this will increase the flow and let all my rads get hot. What’s happened to the bathroom refurbishment?? Thank you, take care, regards, Chris.
You may not need to re-pipe the 10mm, you can actually push a surprising amount of heat through 10mm pipe. Resistance on long runs can be an issue but if worked our properly and an understanding of your available pump head and heat exchanger resistance you are likely to be okay. Personally I'd look at system balancing first.
Dear James, kindly, ¿what type of copper pipe will bend this way? Specifically, ¿will the blue (Type L) and red (Type M) bend as easily as you've shown here? I read there exists a flexible Type L. Perhaps that's what you're bending in the video. Thank you for making and posting your videos.
In America we don’t bend plumbing pipes a lot, so I’m wondering is the copper you use more flexible? We have 3 “grades” of copper that all have different thickness’ and the stuff we use for plumbing is some of the thickest and I don’t know that it would bend without kinking
How do I work out the X dimensions, I’m in college Monday and need to have a 150mm straight to 150mm down on a 90 degree bend but how do I work out how much pipe I need and how far back to bend
Great vid and just made everyone’s life easier lol just one question is there a way to calculate how much/how long the length of copper pipe do you need for pass over or offset bends (depending on the obstacle) hope that makes sense 😳
Great video love the use of the formula to get the correct size from the angles. One question though do you have a way of determining if your using 30°-45° or 60° does it just depend on height of the object you’re going over?
I think it’s sort of up to you, however the bigger the offset is the bigger the angle you’ll probably want for example if you did a 30 degree for a 100mm offset that’d be a 200mm distance between the 2 Bends whereas a smaller bend at a bigger angle would probably look better

Great work mate
Thanks for the message mate
But now a days plastic pipes are very popular. Do you bend the plastic pipes the same way?
How do you know what degrees to start with, where did you get 30 mate?
Thanks James, my pipe bender arrived today so hopefully be doing some bending over the weekend in my en-suits. Hold tight.
Marks guide in CM, marks pipe on Inches. Welcome to the UK.
Ha! Story of my life!

I get you the teachers try to get me to do guess work off of paper
Hello from the USA.Awesome video. I practiced using your technique and got it spot on the first try. Thanks for taking the time to make this video.
😂 What a song! Takes me back a few years! Great lesson, thanks old chap!
I’m learning how to bend copper and stainless steel pipe and this video has help my a lot I can now bend a pipe exactly where I want it.
Finally! A precision pipe bending master class well done James 👌
Used this method a couple of times with perfect results. Double legend plumber magic explained.
The single most useful plumbing video on RUclips!
This is amazing, I've been doing bending this week at college and I'm struggling with passovers. Cheers James!
No worries!
great song James, Skill Builder jam session, we need you.
Yes, Roger, nice of you to drop in 👍🏼
I have watched many of your videos as I have snailed my way through 2 bathroom conversions. They have helped me no end; thank you very much!
“Well done…I’ll give ya a tonguing later” - almost spat my tea across the kitchen 🤣🤣🤣
👅😛

Top dog . Greatly appreciate helping to explaining it easier then my teacher.

Good video m8. Loved the advert, the measurements and the guide.
Glad you liked it!

This was really useful, wish I had known this trick while building my frames in college last week 🤦♂️
Cheers James 🤘
Going to save this and revisit it when I’m ready to become a bender. I’m still lolling about in my compression and speed fit comfort zone.

Thank you, was bending pipes today, 1st time for years and a few dodgy pulls... so needed revision.. I swear I used to be ok at it 😂
Thanks James great tutorial very clear
I have the same model of bender as this and that is how I found you. Thank you for the knowledge to use it properly. I just finished a job which went perfectly for a change and in half of the time. Ha.
Just got this video recommended very helpful mate! Subscribed!
Very informative & amusing!Thankyou
Nice one thanks for the multipliers. I have engraved it on me bender . Great video...
Top bending Emily!
Are the conversation the same for each size pipe
Right I'm having a day in the shed your soldering video was great really helped me so and now this time to practice and order some more copper pipe 🤘🤘🤘
Get in there boiiiiii!
I don't know your skill level, but let me give you one piece of advice: if you are learning or you are an amateur - avoid MAP. Start/do the job on propane.
Wooo hooo. Thanks James, my very own ITS truck arrives tomoz

very very good video pal, very well expained, ur videos our tutor in college plays, thats how u no its good. cheers pal.
Measurements scribed into the guide “what a brilliant idea 👌👌

Has Emily had a wash yet ? 😂 I’m still laughing 😝
Brilliant video! Really enjoyed this one and well presented! Top stuff!
Just a quick question how do you know what to times your measurement by on the small bend you multiplied by 2 and the bigger one 1.2
Dear James, is there a method to calculate the multiplier? Just wondering if I wanted to bend at 75 degree for example
Fantastic easy to follow guide. Thank you!
excellent video man, I have done a lot of stainless tube bending with swage lock and needed to figure out how to use this particular bender as it dose not state the degrees on this bender like the swage lock model
Hey James, great video! Is it the same multipliers for 22mm pipe as well?
Also, your 30degrees looks like 20 degrees with your makeshift protractor ?
This is what I was thinking. Really confused
Great video ! Really helpful on Offset, Passover & Crossover, but what exactly is a Tonguing bend ?? Perhap's you could do a video on this.
Thank you so much. Now I really know how it works.
I teach plumbing in a college and was wondering would you mind if I link your video and demonstrate to students ?
All hail the moderator! ⚖
Hi James, my pipe bender started to make pipe kink and wrinkles at bend, could you please make video how to fix pipe bender
Same approach for mild steel instead of copper?
How are you able to complete your bend with the copper pipe that is available nowadays (extremely thin wall), i used to be able to complete perfect bends without any kinks, not now there are always a series kinks om the inside of the bend. Any advice with this would be appreciated. Thanks.
What is the tightest 90 degree bend radius possible that is for 1/2 inch water pipe US standard ???
Sorry my mistake 180 degree bend ???
To make sure your bends are in the same plane, use a block of wood on your bench which is the same height as the underside of your bending quadrant.
I'm doing a bathroom, would I be OK to bend 90° bends rather than a load of compression fitting. I think it works out cheaper.
Does it work with conduit?
I was wondering if the pipe you are using is soft copper pipe, I tried to bend some type L hard copper pipe and it kept breaking in half that's the only pipe the big box stores sell in my area. The searches I did online shows the soft copper comes in a coil and from the video you are not using coils.
Great video mate again, what’s the most different bends you or anyone has ever done on one length of pipe? Like a 90 pass over and then another 90 all on one length?
That all depends on how long your pipe is David........
@@chrisgunn121 I’ve got a massive pipe Christopher.....! 😉😉
@@davezeraschi7936 David... have you enough to in the
@@chrisgunn121 blast from the past!!
What you doing with a kromer on your bonce James that’s a welders hat !!! I’ve got loads of em
Nice video, thanks. Do you use a different formula for 22mm pipe?
I'm abroad. Here we have German copper pipe. I'm not sure it'll bend to 90º. Do you think heating treating will leave it soft enough to bend?
So where the wood was 42mm high at the start you chose to do a 30° bend. Could you have chosen to do a 45° or 60° if you wanted?
Yes you can but it does take more practise at larger degrees of bending.
Help. My pipe bender wrinkles the inner bend of my pipes. I don't know what could the problem might be. Also, the outer bend is somewhat flat.
This was brilliant. Thank you
Is the multiplier to same for 3\4 (22mm) pipe?
30 degree offset on the smallest 15mm copper piece ? How low can you go ?
Brilliant film and just in time for me, before I start to replace my central heating system pipe work in
15mm instead of 10mm. Hopefully this will increase the flow and let all my rads get hot.
What’s happened to the bathroom refurbishment??
Thank you, take care, regards, Chris.
Delayed because of the floor. Returning next week!
@@plumberparts Excellent 👍👍

Good Video Man.
Its really useful. Thank you 😊
Is it possible to bend a continuous circle coil (for a wood stove heat exchanger) of say 6" inside diameter?
can anybody tell me what the equivalent multipliers are for 22mm pipe when bending 30, 45 and 60 degree angles?
Nice one Jimbo! Another top vid 👍🏻
Love it, thanks a lot.
same apply for 22mm pipe?
I have a question , how do you know what degrees to use or do you just estimate
That’s what I was thinking
what is multiplayer when I do 22.5 angle. please?
Great vid as always 👌
How do I work out the X dimensions, I’m in college Monday and need to have a 150mm straight to 150mm down on a 90 degree bend but how do I work out how much pipe I need and how far back to bend
Great vid and just made everyone’s life easier lol just one question is there a way to calculate how much/how long the length of copper pipe do you need for pass over or offset bends (depending on the obstacle) hope that makes sense 😳
Just to add (depending on the obstacle and the degree of the bend*(30,45,60) )
Can you do all of that with oxygen and accetelyn
Great video love the use of the formula to get the correct size from the angles. One question though do you have a way of determining if your using 30°-45° or 60° does it just depend on height of the object you’re going over?

Why use metric? When we have 4/8 inch/foot + Feet/pund ?
I wish the done w inches and feet for us rebels in the US. Great video
Thanks for that bud. Much appreciated.... ps hold tight
When will you upgrade the amazon store to include the hat?
Awesome tutor thanks!
Great instructual video mate, as gixer said has em had a wash yet 🤣🤣, also just noticed pb has put out the exact same video
Pb who? 😂
Anglella Bend... is She the new German Chancellor?
Thanks again
