Nice tip for pipe bending, please share more tips like this one! I’m watching from Romania. 👍👍

[@mmplumber]

Glad you liked it I’m planning on doing more and maybe some vlogs

[@BriodyPlumbs]

Yeaaaa boy. Bought the monument bender a while back now. Great bit of kit instead of lumping the hilmors about. Great tip was doing as i was with the himors.

[@mmplumber]

Yeah I love the 15 set which carry’s on me at all times

[@davidoshea1536]

Great tip bud, yes could you please do more tutorial videos, especially how you use the monument benders, and like the video's you've already where you cut and piped up by eye.🌟

[@mmplumber]

We shall see how this one does and go from there 👊👊

[@mattcable6379]

Wow. That was great. Thanks buddy!

[@mmplumber]

Glad you liked it!

[@Jofiplease]

i like that method i also like bending an angle, then holding the pipe up to a straight edge like a tile on the floor and measuring the offset straight off that , marking the whole circumference and then using the 45 mark on the top arm (ridgid), bending back to parallel.

[@mmplumber]

We all have our little ways but as long as you get to end result we are all Winners

[@benregler9872]

I hope Monument have sorted you out with a few insensitives Matt 😊 I don't see many others using their bender. It's a great bit of kit I to have the 15mm can't see myself using the 22. Great video mate 👍🏼

[@mmplumber]

Yeah you don’t need the 22, keep your old ones on the van and put these in a bag you carry all the time 👍

[@hashimtahir9415]

Just got the monument benders and trying to practise, thank you for this - anyone know of pipe to practise with, coppers expensive and not good for reusing

[@MagicDoughnut]

Multilayer underfloor heating. It bends and you can straighten it. It's what they use in college. You can get a tool to straighten it. I went to a local UFH merchant and asked for some scrap, they gave me like a 20 meters rolls for free lol.

Would you use the 1.4 formula for 22mm also ?

[@darrengould4668]

Brilliant . Best video yet . Who showed you the 1-4 method ?

[@mmplumber]

I saw this on James video but wanted to show how to do it on the monument benders

[@TotalWarriorLegends]

Is this formuler a thing 1.4 methode? ​@@mmplumber

[@Anonymous0-g8m]

Great video, 1:00 did you measure it from the centre of the pipes ?

[@mmplumber]

Yeah it inside to outside

[@k20aa]

I like that 👍👍👍

[@mmplumber]

Glad you did pal!

[@Whatsupp666]

Dude I'm 50 spent over 30 years in trade, never knew the 1.4 rule 👍

Great info but have a couple of questions Is copper pipe rigid or flexible? Also what wall thickness K,L,or M What is limit of tool on different pipes?

[@sweetvuvuzela4634]

Oh my god where have you been all my life awesomeness

[@TamesideHandyman]

Thanks for the video tutorial. Can I ask if this is the same principle for when you need to bend a pipe when fitting a type 21/22 rad from a type 11? i.e when the centre points are different

[@mmplumber]

That’s abit if trial and error 🤣

[@TamesideHandyman]

@@mmplumber That's fair enough at least I know now :-) Thanks

[@ginola602]

Great video,I usually guess!

[@TotalWarriorLegends]

Thank do you have more?

[@sa4540]

Love this vid. Did you measure from centre of the 2 pipes?

[@JayG2K]

yes i think centre to centre. but end to end would be the same measument.

[@evervol1]

Can you do a video on full cross / pass over bends please!!

[@mmplumber]

Yeah will do mate

[@marilynperks6111]

when taking the first measurement between the top and bottom pipes, was it centre to centre, you didnt say.

[@mmplumber]

Yeah center to center

[@umark6695]

Was the 63 measurement from the middle of each pipe?

[@mmplumber]

Yeah center to center

[@alyssiac3827]

Thanks for the video. I think its verry usefull! How do you do it, for a rolling offset? Or for verry verry smal offsets?

[@mmplumber]

Thank you! Very small offsets I could start with a very small bend and just bend both sides more untill you reach what you need

[@peterevans8194]

Great tip...Does anybody produce a "cheat sheet" with this sort of info on it? Plus also the McKeowns Table as well?

[@damien_tutton]

Great video. What bender is that?

[@ErnestRamirez-x5y]

Awesome!!!!!!

[@Razz60]

Is this same formula for 22mm pipe?

[@mmplumber]

I might have to try but I don’t think so

[@leonelgamezacosta3343]

Hola, dónde la puedo comprar en Estado Unidos.? Gracias

[@mmplumber]

It most probs won’t fit your pipe

[@se9225]

I see the question on measuring. What's the difference in degrees if you measure from top>top or bottom>bottom and is there a pattern for degree variants due to non plumb walls or angled walls.

[@mmplumber]

Non plumb walls you have to gauge by eye, center to center or inside to outside is the only way to measure distance

Great video, how do you decide where to out the first mark? Is it really all that crucial? Looks like you went about 15mm from the edge of the wood?

[@mmplumber]

Normally measure from the edge but I leave extra so I can cut and move it a little

One last thing, the measurement from pipe to pipe (63mm) is it from centre to centre or edge to edge?

[@johnadams1976]

that's waht I want to know!!!! think it must be centre to centre

[@sadekhamid3165]

Is that calculation for all benders?

[@mmplumber]

It’s but you need to learn where to start the measurements from

[@barnesd1976]

What's the paste tou use on compression fittings. Thank you.

[@mmplumber]

Slictite or jet lube

[@TotalWarriorLegends]

​@@mmplumberthanks

[@christagg7570]

Would that 1.4 change for bigger diameter pipe / conduit?

[@mmplumber]

@@christagg7570 honestly can’t remember, try it 🤣

[@SalvatheHandyMan]

Thank you for the video. Is that only for the 45 and 45 degrees bend ? I guess with 90 or 30 degrees bend it would be a different number to times it by?

[@mmplumber]

Exactly mate there is different numbers for the same type of formula. I’ll be make more videos to help 👊

[@mmplumber]

Center to center or outside to inside 👊

[@mohammedhussain1980]

Thx ​@@mmplumber

[@peketee2278]

the internet is full of good apps..(for example offset pipe) you can make the bends with whatever bending angles you want, and you don't have to calculate anything. Although I myself have calculated my whole career (over 35 years), I only started using apps in the last few years, although in my case the pipe sizes were usually 10mm-2500mm, but the principle is always the same regardless of the size...

[@mmplumber]

An app for bending pipe? 😮

[@Mobile-pd1uc]

With the 63mm are you measuring from top of the pipe to the bottom of the 2nd or just from the middle of each? Thanks

[@mmplumber]

Middle pal, center to center

[@peterevans8194]

@@mmplumber I suspect it wouldn't matter as long as you measure from the same point on both pipes ie centre to centre or top to top...

[@sasanheating]

This is a really great video, thank you. What is the significance of 1.4; reason for asking is I do not know :)

[@paultutton9443]

1.4(14...) is the square root of 2. If you multiply the set distance by 1.4 for a 45 degree angle you'll get the length of the slope - Pythagoras 👍.
