The Product
Pipe bend formers, also known as pipe guiding elbows, are an essential component in underfloor heating systems and other applications where pipes need to be routed efficiently. They are specifically designed to allow heating pipes to bend at a precise 90° angle, ensuring smooth and consistent installation. One of the key benefits of using pipe bend formers is their ability to prevent kinking, which can otherwise compromise the flow of water or heating fluid through the pipe. With pipe bend formers, the flow inside the pipe remains uninterrupted, ensuring the efficiency and performance of the system are maintained over time.
These formers are particularly useful in underfloor heating installations where sharp bends are required, and they contribute to a cleaner, more organised layout of the piping network. Whether you’re installing a new system or making modifications to an existing one, pipe bend formers are an indispensable tool for professionals looking for both precision and reliability.
Advantages
- Accurate Pipe Positioning: The JCW pipe bend former ensures that installers can easily position the pipe in the correct direction. This prevents the risk of pipe blockages that can arise from improper installation or bending. By maintaining the optimal angle, the former aids in maintaining the integrity of the entire system.
- No Over-Bending of Underfloor Pipes: Underfloor heating systems rely on precise pipe placement for even heat distribution. The JCW pipe bend former eliminates the need for excessive bending, which can stress the pipes and potentially cause damage over time. This feature is critical for maintaining both the lifespan of the pipes and the efficiency of the heating system.
- Strong Grip on Pipes: One of the standout features of the JCW pipe bend former is its ability to provide a secure grip on the underfloor heating pipe. Once in place, the former holds the pipe firmly, preventing any movement that could disrupt the system or lead to inefficient heating. This strong grip is crucial during the installation process, as it helps installers work quickly and confidently.
- Prevents Pipe Displacement: During both installation and the system’s operational phase, pipes can shift due to pressure changes or other factors. The JCW pipe bend former is designed to prevent this from happening. By securely holding the pipe in position, it ensures that the underfloor heating system functions optimally and without the risk of pipes slipping out of place, which could lead to costly repairs or reduced performance.
- High-Quality Construction: JCW pipe bend formers are manufactured using high-quality materials, which contribute to their durability and long-term performance. The robust construction ensures that these formers can withstand the rigours of installation and everyday use without degrading or losing effectiveness. This commitment to quality means that installers and system owners alike can trust JCW pipe bend formers for reliable and lasting performance.
