Push Bending Copper Elbow

Push bending copper elbows are commonly used in plumbing and HVAC systems to create bends in copper pipes without the need for soldering or welding. This technique involves using a special tool called a push bender to bend the copper pipe to the desired angle. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to push bend a copper elbow:
1. Measure and mark the location of the bend on the copper pipe using a measuring tape and a marker. Make sure to measure accurately to ensure a precise bend.

2. Insert the copper pipe into the push bender, making sure that the marked location is aligned with the bending point on the tool.

3. Hold the pipe firmly in place and apply pressure to the handle of the push bender to bend the pipe to the desired angle. Make sure to bend the pipe slowly and steadily to avoid kinking or damaging the pipe.

4. Once the pipe has been bent to the desired angle, remove it from the push bender and check the bend for any imperfections. If necessary, use a pipe straightener to correct any kinks or uneven bends.
