PROTECTS REPUTATIONS AND FAMILY JEWELS

A bad swage can crack a tube and cause system leaks. An errant swing of the hammer could do the same. Avoid both with our newly designed Compact Swage Tool. With less effort, you’ve got more control to deliver a picture-perfect swage every time. Just be sure to use it on soft tubing materials such as copper, aluminum, brass and steel.

Swaging Instructions

1. Prep the tube for swaging by cutting to length and deburring the inside of the tube end.
2. Holding the Compact Swage Tool, choose the correct size expander head for the tube you are swaging, and screw onto the body.
3. Slide the tube onto the expander head to be flush with the back of the insert, and pump the handle until desired swage is made.
4. Depress the green release button on the back of the body of the tool to release the expander head from the swaged tube.
5. Take the tubing off.
6. Use saved energy to conquer next job.

Compact Swage Maintenance

After every 20 uses, we recommend the user remove the expander head and re- grease the cone underneath using multi-purpose NLGI1 or NLGI2 grease.
