Myths around rippling of plumbing copper tube
I've had the odd ripple, and I put it down to the benders need a little cleaning.
You're only supposed to bend the bloody pipe!
Congratulations Pablo proud of you mate 👌👍🏼❤️🙂
Holy Comoly, one at a time??
nice job, need upgrade in SEO area both channel and videos
What benders are those that are being used?
well interesting ,, so a bit of pipe is not just a bit of pipe ,,,,
'Promo sm' 🙃
Will I have any problems using a 15mm pipe with a few little ripples in a cold water pipe?
Love what he said here always nice to see a man proud of his lineage 💪🏼
En mi opinión está bien pero cuando doblas se estira i sea delgasa la pared del tubo y más rápido liquea eso es bueno para la electricidad porque nada más yeba cables en miopinion
I've had a pair of bahco 15mm benders for over 12 years very rarely does it ripple just use it properly
There is some one at fault it happens very regular
The water pressure in Europe is higher than the UK and seem to use pressure reducers at the mains in coming?🤔
@pbplumber ofc
“Who knew?” The information is out there, so why would anyone *not* know?! I’m certain the UK has the laziest and most stupid plumbers in the world.
Table Y tube wall is 43% thicker than Table X, not 30% thicker.
My new hillmor bender creases 22mm I blame the copper thickness and did my old bender
Logo looks too familiar
Well done, keep going, if you like the job you will be good at it. I’ve enjoyed plumbing for about 50 years. 👍👍👍
Become an electrician they know how to use a broom 😂😂😂
Dodgey Copper !! Plenty around 🤣
The old red line copper pipe couldn't be bent . Table Y could be used underground if I remember correctly.
"Would a standard elbow fit on this?" he asked, not realizing that using elbows make the entire bending issues irrelevant.
It's the benders, they are very bad quality. They have lower tooling tolerances since they moved to production to China. Buy a 2nd hand bender or a bend it now. Want to 180 15mm bender, get a 2nd hand record solo. I got one for £15 never rippled a bend.
Having recently worked on my old ½" copper pipes, I was amazed how much thicker the walls were compared to modern 15mm. On bending the 15mm I found every second bend ended up slightly rippled, even using a new pipe bender & the same tubing. Basically modern stuff is c*** compared to the past.
Spot on Pete.
Wall thickness on the fittings look thicker than the pipe wall ..?
🙃 ρгό𝔪σŞm
Just wondering if Lawton tubes do tours of there manufacturing plant?!?
Well said PB! Met you guys at the installer show this year love the work use all do 👍🏻👍🏻
Well said, I just know I love working with copper pipe. Lawton is fantastic copper to work with, thank you. Take care, cheers, 👍👍👍
it never used too
Wow, a fantastic range of products, some beautiful tube there. I love using Lawton copper tube, much appreciated, thank you.
But in the real world how much is rippling really an issue?
Looks bad and induces turbulence in the flow.
Looks like I need a new bender then , my old rothenberg ripples most time
Interesting
Fascinating
Pb there making it look effortless with 15mm unit that bloke
awesome test,looks simple ,but can be hard,if not bend pipe ,every day,pipe gets shorter too,as bend it ,also trying for fixed points ,clips ,is hard too,if not do it every day ,fair play for trying it
Gets longer as you bend copper mate.
Very interesting. Nice seeing a video of some use for a change.
In days of old when it was either galvanised iron or lead pipe then came copper pipe and we all believed the copper-to-iron fitting was the best fitting ever invented. Copper pipe came in, Blue band Yellow band, and Red band, Blue band being the thickest wall. Yes I was an apprentice to Noah. .
I have found over the years that if your pipe guide is not fully engaged in the pipe bender, your pipe will ripple regardless.
Been 20yrs since we used Copper in America for residential. Everything is PEX now. Nice to see copper being used .
42 years in the HVAC industry and I am surprised to hear you talking about plumbers doing work with a mechanical bender.
So in UK it’s very much 70 / 30 in copper, we are one of Europe’s largest users of copper in plumbing I’m pleased to say 👍 Plastic has its place mainly in underfloor heating where it’s key not to have any joints or fittings.
Sadly with most plastics it all ends up in landfill when finished with unlike copper which can be 100% recycled time after time. Sustainably is much becoming a BIG in construction so copper in States will be seen a lot more for sure 👍
@@LawtonTubes that’s a good observation, but PEX pipe is left installed for much longer than copper, so it’s not a simple comparison.
Really in Florida we use copper everyday your must not be in the field bro
Really useful video as I'm only now starting in the trade. once again, nice one PB and thanks Lawton tubes.
I’ve had Bahco bender and for that reason got rid of it. Monument master bender is the way forward
I had a set of screwfix pipe benders that i used for many years . They were great but started rippling. I figured they were worn out so i bought some new hilmor benders that day, which also rippled the same pipe. I figured it was the pipe at fault. I often work with a mate. He has rothenberger benders. He pulls a bend no ripples, i pull a bend in the same pipe with the same benders and it ripples. So im guessing its me and my technique some how? 🤷♂️
Try cleaning the guides and formers, grease the 'bearing' of the rollers on your bender and a light bit of furniture polish on the guides and formers. I put beeswax polish on my guides and formers once every few months and it seems to prevent rippling. Modern Hilmor benders are very poor compared with the old Hilmors, by the way.
Bending too fast. Slow down.
Sometimes it ripples due to pulling the bend too fast.
Aye Mr Lawton knows his shit mate 👍
Great film well done pb and Mr Lawton, I love Lawton copper products. Lawton copper is king, Thank you 👍👍👍
