Copper bending methods?

[Ian]

Hi all, I learnt some copper bending methods on the olci course and I've forgotten them and getting access to the course material is impractical at the mo. been searching online but havent been able to find those actual methods. Does anyone have a link to them by any chance I was wondering? Been appreciated if you could give us a link

Method one, buy a bending spring.
Method two, buy a tube bender.

Method Three, Use your knee

Joking aside, spring or bender is the more common methods

I so suprised hardly any plumbers dont know how to bend copper. New apprentices that are in their 2nd year dont know how to use a pipe bender and asked me "where is the 90* mark?"

I got taught this the first week into plumbing. Maybe im feeling old and now all plumbing is just plastic and push fit.

Btw i h8 plastic! Your not a plumber if all you use is plastic. Many builders/brick layers are doing all their plumbing because plastic is so easy! True plumber sticks to the traditional way

Also of you can bend copper it looks neater, saves money and time
and like anything else, is easy when you know how. Ps never used a spring
only a machine bender
