Product Submittal: Please refer to the product submittal for additional details and important installation notes: Swage-X Submittal
• For use with brazing applications only.DO NOT SOLDER.
• Only use with soft (annealed, O60 or R220 temper) or bendable quality (H55 or R250 temper) copper tubing. DO NOT USE with hard (H58 Temper) copper tubing.
• Not intended for continuous use in a factory setting. This will cause the tool to overheat.
• Store at room temperature in dry location.
The Reftekk Swage Expander is a handheld tool designed to swage bendable quality copper tubing, quickly and easily creating brazing sockets with the proper dimensions and tolerances.
Eliminates Need for Copper Fittings: When used with a proper bending tool, the Reftekk Swage Expander allows installers to create brazing sockets at the ends of any bendable quality copper tubing sections. This eliminates the need for elbows and couplings, lowering material costs.
Reduces Number of Brazes by Up to Half: The Reftekk Swage Expander, when used in conjunction with bendable quality copper tubing, allows each joint to be sealed with only a single braze rather than two brazes associated with conventionally brazed fittings. This reduces labor and the cost of brazing material while significantly reducing leak potential in the system.
Proper Brazing Tolerance: Creates brazing sockets with tight tolerances, resulting in better capillary action and fewer voids, ultimately reducing leak potential. Proper Brazing Socket Depth: Only tool on the market designed to produce the correct swage depth for brazing (per ASME B16.50-2013), leading to a more complete braze with less leak potential.
Swages ACR Type-L Copper Tube Sizes: Head sizes come in 3/8”, 1/2”, 5/8”, 3/4”, 7/8” 1-1/8”,1-3/8”, and 1-5/8”.
Mobile Military-Grade Tool Case: Fits into a durable and waterproof tool case that includes all head sizes, a battery, and a battery charger, so you have everything you need in one place. A retractable handle and roller wheels allow for easy mobility.
