Tried explaining pipe bending to a trainee so many times and the information just want getting across, it just wasn't sinking in. I showed him your video and saw a little glint in his eye, the penny started to drop. I told him to watch the 3 pipe bending vids you made from start to finish 3 times each then gave him the Benders and three lengths of 15mm and 3 lengths of 22mm. A full day of making my own tea, packing up and loading the van myself and got no copper left on the van but now I've got a lad that can bend pipe! A day well spent for both of us. Cheers PB
In UK Passover bend... in USA... saddle bend. Pete awesome stuff, rarely do plumbers here in the states bend copper. I learned pipe bending in electrician school. Comes in handy for my HVAC business. Cheers from USA.
Great video, just doing my level 1 course at college and just started bending pipes and doing offsets, passovers and crossovers so this was a great help !! Thanks 🙏
I am at the Plumbing business a few decades now. A big thumbs up to you for breaking down the techniques involved with complex pipe bending. Fantastic for students of the trade.👍👍👍👍
Fabulous video guide on how to jump those annoying obstacles and with your help and rewatching a few more times I can make a better job at simple plumbing jobs around my home thank you!
Absolutely awesome!. I've always wanted to learn how to do this. The best 6:45 I've spent on youtube to date and you've saved me the time and hassle to go and get a "Flexible Copper Plumbing Stick". Now I can now do an infinitely better job.....unless I screw it up of course. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for taking time out ur day to make these videos iv been a plumber for 13 years but love watching your videos and learning somthing new and picking up some tips (everyday is a school day)
Lovely video.... better and so much easier to understand that at colleges/training centres etc.. When I was at training centre my tutor told me to follow the level 2 book etc, take into account pipe gains from bending and consider not to waste pipe but trimming the end off.... These vids from you pb so easy to follow and I bet other plumbers use these to find an easier way .. cheers
Excellent vid mate. Takes me back to college days! Reminds me of when we used to thread the mild steel with tallow . Wish you the best of luck my love x
Great explanation i do them by eye but will be using this method in future much more accurate. This is a clear and easy way to show the apprentice how to do it 👍
You are making this look too easy ha ha im learning more from your videos than from the tutor at college. Not because he is shit but because there is so many of us he can't really give us all that one on one time. So thanks for the content
Great video. My problem is keeping all the bends lined up my bending machine seems to change every bend, always end up having to bend it slightly to get them all straight
Very nice, I'm impressed. But I haven't used a bender in the last 10 years of my work, either use preformed crossovers, or a selection of 45 degree elbows to do the job, esp. on unequal crossovers. And more & more buildings use plastic pipes these days, and no fire certificate needed.
Had to do one of these the other day safe to say i had a nightmare i was doing the gas run on the job and had to do a pass over looked shocking thus why im here to rectify it 😂 but tbh the first bit you have explained has boxed me do a 90 then both sides 45 easy work
Nice 1 PB. If theres a video you can recommend on stopping my benders rippling everytime I bend that would helpfull. Thanks for all the training and tips 💪
Douglas Cubitt hey man. Not sure if this will help you at all, but I found that on some benders the guides are painted and can be quite rough preventing the pipe from moving freely when bending. What I did with mine was to use a sanding sponge to remove the paint and get down to the smooth metal. My 22mm bends were rippling before I did this, they're perfect now. Alternatively you can spray a bit of wd40 or silicone spray on the guides prior to your bend. Good luck man👍🏻
So the edge of your bender die is not on the center of the pipe, but on the edge? I'm pretty sure mine is on the center, so I have to subtract the radius.
What do you think of MLCP pipe, press fit or speed fit pipe? I think coper looks good on show if soldered neatly or press fitted. Plastic pipe would be ok under floor. Don't know what everyone else would think?
Is ok to bend metal pipe because I have wonder if it cracks the metal when you bend it I don't think it's too bad because I've seen people bending it a lot?
Nice video mate. Hopefully you can awnser my question but I've been trying to get an apprenticeship in plumbing NVQ level 2 but I can't manage to get one do you think it's worth it paying for the NVQ
As a plumber here in the states. It's interesting to see how our brothers are getting it done across the pond.
Is it legal here in the states??

This video was very helpful for me as I am in my second year of being a gas safe engineer. Great job of explaining it well.
Glad it was helpful!
Every time I need to do a pass over which is probably once a year, I'm putting my data on and copying this. Thanks Pb
Ive been plumbing twenty years, always good to see these vids out there : )
I've adapted my own technique to do full half cross's and offset bends. However this is explained so clear and precise. Aw'sum tutorial Pete.
I just started my level 2 plumbing and this has helped me a lot thank keep them coming!
This is the best educational video for plumbers that i watched in months on youtube!Well done mate!!!
Thank you for taking time out ur day to make these videos iv been a plumber for 13 years but love watching your videos and learning somthing new and picking up some tips (everyday is a school day)

Been struggling in college to grasp this... But pb made it simple and I will be using this technique. Thanks
I'm having my practical test soon on plumbing and this video is really helpful.
Cheers Peter, from a breakdown Engineer. Good to know if I come across pipe work that needs this type of bend. Keep up the good work 👍🏽
Massive thanks for this video Pete.
A really easy no frills way that just works.
Very many thanks.
Take care buddy.
This takes me back, at college these were called cranks, full crank, half crank and so on
Or as we oldies use to call them 90's, double sets & saddle sets. . PB keep up the most excellent work.
Don’t forget dog leg and swan neck
Oh my God . i asked my teachers in College to teach my this type of the bend but they couldn't .. nice one sir
I’ve been doing these in college,that example was spot on 👍
