The Girella at a glance
The Girella is a lever-operated pipe bender designed for small copper pipes. It can bend bare, annealed copper pipes up to 16 mm in diameter, even at 180°. PVC-coated pipes and hard copper pipes up to 14 mm in diameter can also be bent. Typical applications include connections to taps, water heaters, manifolds, radiators, and refrigeration lines.
The Girella has a tight bending radius ranging from R 21 mm for Ø 6 mm pipes to R 41 mm for Ø 16 mm pipes. This allows for serpentines with only about 15 mm between two bends. Each form has its own pipe stop, and an aluminum roll is included with each size.
