Bending

We use high-quality CNC machines to bend copper and stainless steel in the specified dimensions shown in the tables below

bending drawing

Dimension A on the drawing refers to the minimum straight distance, which is 20 mm when soldering and 30 mm when connecting with a compression fitting. To avoid subsequent cutting, a straight length of 40 mm is preferable.

Dimension B refers to the minimum distance between two bends.
Dimension R is the bend radius.

The following applies to bending machines

Pipe diameter (mm) Radius R (mm) Clamp distance B (mm)
