Bent copper pipes

Bending

Expert pipe bending in copper and stainless steel

We use high-quality CNC machines to bend copper and stainless steel pipes with accuracy and repeatability. This ensures clean, consistent results that match your exact system requirements – every time.

Diagram of a bent pipe
  • Dimension A is the minimum required straight length before the bend:
      – 20 mm for soldered joints
      – 30 mm for compression fittings
    For best results – and to avoid further cutting – we recommend a straight section of at least 40 mm.

  • Dimension B is the minimum distance required between two consecutive bends.

  • Dimension R indicates the bend radius.

The following applies to bending machines
