Pipe bender Rothenberger 070659E 90° for bending metal pipes and tubes

Rothenberger pipe bender 070659E 90° for bending metal pipes and tubes is a manual tool engineered to produce accurate right-angle bends in metal piping. Designed for use in plumbing, heating and general metalwork, this compact and robust bender enables technicians and hobbyists to form repeatable 90° bends on-site or in the workshop. The tool emphasizes controlled deformation to maintain pipe shape and alignment while minimizing flattening and kinking.

Advantages

The tool delivers consistent 90° bends with mechanical leverage that reduces operator effort. Its compact construction supports use in confined spaces and on-site jobs where portability matters. Made from durable materials, the bender resists wear from repeated use and offers stable bending performance over time. The manual design requires no power source, making it suitable for locations without electricity and simplifying maintenance compared with powered alternatives.

Suitable for

• Plumbing installations and pipe routing
• Heating system assembly and radiator connections
• HVAC penetration and conduit shaping
• Metalwork projects requiring precise right-angle bends
• On-site repairs and workshop fabrication

Key specifications

• Bend angle: fixed 90°
• Operation: manual lever action for controlled bending
• Material compatibility: suitable for common metal pipes and tubes used in plumbing and heating (steel, copper, and similar metals)
• Design: compact and portable construction for workshop and field use
• Durability: robust build to withstand repeated bending operations

How to use

Position the pipe or tube in the bender so the section to be bent aligns with the center of the bending shoe. Secure the pipe according to the tool’s holding mechanism, then apply steady, even force to the lever to bring the pipe to a 90° angle. Monitor the pipe shape during bending to avoid over-bending; if necessary, make small adjustments and back off before finalizing the bend. After bending, inspect the tube for deformation and correct alignment before installation.

Recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as gloves and eye protection. Select pipe material and wall thickness within the tool’s practical handling range and consider using internal support or mandrels for thin-walled tubes to reduce flattening. Store the bender in a dry place and inspect moving parts regularly for wear or damage to ensure continued accuracy.
