Simple copper tube bending introduction

Copper tube bending is something every plumbing and heating student should be comfortable and confident with. This only comes with time and practice. To begin with I recommend using some basic skill development such as can be seen in the images below. There are many ways by which to achieve competency in pipe bending this is a good start.

Marking and setting out for a simple bend
Complete basic bend
Creating a template to form a more complex bend over an obstacle
Template with dimensions of obstacle and centre line of the bend
Bend number 1 of 3 for the double Passover
Bend 1 of 3 being checked on the pre-prepared template
Using the template to mark bend 2 of 3
Inserting bend 2 of 3 into the bending machine former accurately
Bend 2 of 3 complete and being checked against the template for accuracy
Bend 3 of 3 complete and offered to the template
