Irwin HILGLM Hilmor Glm Pipe Bender including The Guides & Box Hilglm, 15mm-22mm

Product Information

Rubber feet are available code 2607F which fit the 1215K, 1315XVE, 1315Longarm, 1222G, 1322Extended. Two rubber feet are included in the 22mm versions. The rubber feet also fit the Monument 15mm/22mm combi bender 2600K. So, why do we use the Hilmore GLM tube benders, when there’s quite obviously others around the same price, and even more on offer for much less. The 2600K includes 15mm and 22mm aluminium guides. These guides are available as spares;15mm 2601N and 22mm 2603T. These guides also fit Irwin® and Hilmor® GLM. The Monument single sized pipe bender measurements can be seen in the image. 15mm standard version is approximately 460mm and the standard 22mm version is approximately 670mm.

Thanks for reading our 5-minute review of the best copper pipe benders for plumbers and heating engineers. Let’s be honest. There’s a tonne of rubbish on the market right now. Where there’s a top brand offering premium products, there’s a “copy” flogging absolute junk for half the price.

This product retools the following competitive products:

Copper isn’t cheap so that’s money right there, going to waste. More importantly, it’s wasting time. Peter Braine began working for the tube bending London company Hilmor in 1952. The company was founded in 1926 by John Hawes

The standard finish of the benders is a bright zinc plate on the Arms with rumbled aluminium Former and Lever castings. We will also be making available special editions with different finishes to the castings. Some of the Monument Masters have received laser etched and polished castings which look fantastic! Differences compared to a combi bender The single sizes of each bender with their shorter bending arms and lightweight aluminium die casting makes each bender lighter to carry and the design of the 15mm-XV is small enough to fit inside a toolbag.But when it comes to buying new ones, I guess it’s Silverline that stands out as the biggest contender to Hilmor.

The 15mm/22mm guides on the Hilmor copper pipe benders are integrated. No swapping out when you change the size pipe you’re bending, and nothing to lose. Simply because they’re a well known brand in the plumbing industry, a tonne of engineers go for Rothenberger. The nylon guides are integral to the pipe bender helping to ensure they don’t get lost or damaged in a toolbag. Codes for these spare guides are 1216N 15mm Spare Nylon Guide and 1223J 22mm Spare Nylon Guide. Problem? We’ve creased pipes (and had to junk that section) using cheap pipe benders multiple times. The Monument Masters 1215K-XV, 1315-XVE, 1315Longarm-XVL , 1222G-XXII and 1322Extended-XXIIE create similar bend radiuses to a Monument 2600K combi bender; in fact the 1222G has a slightly tighter radius that the 2600K combi bender, as this radius is tighter it creates a slightly different profile on the outside of the bend when compared to a combi.When Monument look to design, manufacture and market a new product we look to create products which will save the engineer time. In this particular instance, we have designed a smaller and lighter weight pipe bender than the standard combination 15and 22mm hand bender. The 15mm 22mm pipe bender or tube bender is an essential part of the toolkit for any heating or plumbing engineer.
