== Pipebender ==

The lab has a pipebender located in a yellow box under the drawers. It has bending attachments for pipe radi:

* 8-9mm
* 10-12mm
* 14mm
* 16mm
* 18mm
* 20mm


== Pipebender use ==

* Secure the bottom piece (A), e.g. into a vice
* Place the bending attachment (C) onto the pivot pin
* Based on the chosen attachment diameter and pipe diameter, move the gripping attachment (E) and the outside bending swivel (F) closer or further from the pivot pin; (F) is the same for all attachments
* Put the handle B into the pivot pin
* Pull the handle to get your desired bend angle
