Tube Expanders for Impact Wrenches

Use the power of an impact wrench to stretch the ends of metal tubing, allowing another tube with the same diameter to fit inside.

Tube Expanders

Enlarge the end of a tube to allow a second piece of the same diameter to fit inside.

Hammer-Driven Tube Expanders

Using a hammer, tap these expanders into the end of a tube to allow a second piece of the same diameter to fit inside.

Tube Expanders for Condensers,
Heat Exchangers, and Boilers

Designed for building and maintaining equipment with tubes that pass through perforated metal sheets, these expanders have rollers and tapered noses to ensure uniform tube tightness.

Expanding Pliers for Soft Tubing

Stretch the end of soft plastic and rubber tubing to make room for fittings with the same or slightly larger diameter.

Hammer-Driven Tube Flarers for 45° Flares

Tap this tool with a hammer to quickly form 45° flared ends in copper tubing.

Hand-Held Tube Flarers for
Single and Double 45° Flares

Double flares roll the end of tubing in on itself then flare both layers for applications such as brake lines.

Hand-Held Tube Flarers for 45° Flares

Form 45° flares in aluminum, brass, or copper tubing so it’s compatible with flared tube fittings often used in low-pressure plumbing, air conditioning, and refrigeration systems.

Vise-Mount Tube Flarers for 37° Flares

Use these tools to flare both soft and hard metal tubing.

Vise-Mount Tube Flarers
and Reamers for 37° Flares

Ream and flare both soft and hard metal tubing with these tools.

Hand-Held Tube Flarers for 37° Flares

Flare soft metal tubing.

Vise-Mount Tube Flarers for 37° and 45° Flares

Mount these flarers in a vise and create single and double 37° and 45° flares.

Tube Flarers and Expanders for 45° Flares

Create 45° flares for low-pressure applications.

Hammer-Driven Tube End Reshapers

Restore tube ends with a few light blows of a hammer.

Hammer-Driven Thin-Wall (EMT) Conduit End Reshapers

Hammer-Driven Thin-Wall
(EMT) Conduit End Reshapers

Repair ends of thin-wall (EMT) conduit that have been warped by cutting.

Expansion Joints

Expansion Joints with Flanged Ends

The flanged ends on these expansion joints rotate for easy bolt hole alignment during installation.

High-Temperature All-Metal
Expansion Joints with Flanged Ends

These all-metal expansion joints can handle high temperatures up to 800° F.

Expansion Joints with Flanged
Ends for High Vibration

These expansion joints have a double-bulb design for extra movement and vibration absorption.

Expansion Joints with Sealing
Flanged Ends for Plastic Pipe

Expansion Joints with Sealing
Flanged Ends for Metal Pipe

Chemical-Resistant Expansion
Joints with Flanged Ends

The PTFE body on these expansion joints has a super-smooth surface that stands up to corrosive chemicals.

Expansion Joint Reducers with Flanged Ends

Connect different pipe sizes in your line while adding a point of flexibility between them. These expansion joints absorb movement between two connected pipes to reduce stress, vibration, and noise.

Expansion Joints with Flanged
Ends for Drinking Water

The EPDM lining in these joints meets NSF/ANSI 61 standard for use with drinking water.

Expansion Joints with Threaded Ends

Connect male threaded pipe to these expansion joints to add a point of flexibility in your line that reduces stress, vibration, and noise.

Clamp-On Expansion Joints
for Drain, Waste, and Vent

These joints are designed for vertical use in drain, waste, and vent systems.

Clamp-On Expansion Joints

Slip these joints over your pipe ends and tighten the band clamps for a secure hold.

Expansion Joints with Socket
Connection for Plastic Pipe

Reduce stress, vibration, and noise in your plastic socket-connect piping system by creating a point of flexibility.

Expansion Joints with Butt-Weld Ends

These joints weld to unthreaded pipe or another butt-weld fitting for a leak-resistant permanent connection.
