Pipework Formation and Importance

Front

Copper pipe 90° – method 1: Step 4

Back

Bend the tube 90° and check, using a set square.

Front

Offset angle

Back

The angle required to create the desired offset in a pipe.

Front

Offset measurement

Back

The size of the offset, which should be deducted from the 600mm folding rule.

Front

Deducting offset size

Back

Subtract the offset size from the 600mm folding rule measurement.

Front

Offset bend application

Back

Used in plumbing to navigate around obstacles.

Front

Plumbing tool for measuring

Back

600mm folding rule.

Front

Start of the bend

Back

Measure back from the first mark 4D of the tube size (e.g., 4 x 15mm = 60mm).

Front

End of the bend

Back

Measure forward 2D of the tube size and mark it on the tube.

Front

Annealing process for copper pipe bending.

Back

Heat the copper tube between marks 2 and 3 until red, then allow it to cool slowly to soften the copper.

Front

Copper pipe bending with springs offset: Step 3

Back

Measure forward 1D of the tube size and mark it on the tube. This is the end of the bend.
