Mains Water Pressure Gauges

Essential for monitoring water pressure in various systems, these gauges are crucial for diagnosing and preventing plumbing issues. They are typically used in residential, commercial, or industrial settings to ensure water systems operate within safe pressure levels.

Copper Pipe Benders

These are used to bend copper pipes in a smooth, kink-free manner, essential for plumbing and heating installations. They are available in sizes to accommodate common pipe diameters and are favoured for their precision and ease of use. 

Monument Pipe Bender

A Monument pipe bender is an essential tool for creating smooth, accurate bends in copper pipe without flattening or kinking the material. Designed for both professional plumbers and skilled DIY users, Monument pipe benders help reduce the need for additional fittings, resulting in cleaner pipework, improved water flow, and a more professional finish. Built for durability and precision, they are ideal for plumbing, heating, and renovation projects where accuracy and efficiency matter.

Selection Guidance

When selecting a Monument tool, consider the specific task at hand. For utility access and minor repairs, a multi-purpose 4-way key is indispensable. For plumbing and system diagnostics, a mains water pressure gauge provides critical information. And for installations or modifications requiring pipe bending, choose a copper pipe bender that matches the pipe size and material you're working with.

Remember, the right tool not only makes the job easier but also ensures it is done correctly and safely. Monument's range of tools in the Build4Less collection offers reliability and quality for all your maintenance and installation needs.
