It features an adjustable ball bearing collar to meet the requirements of various thicknesses of tube sheets. In the 1/4" size the collar is flush. In the 3/8" size the collar has a 1/16" recess. The mandrel is retained in assembly by a Wilson exclusive design, incorporating a knurled nut located at the back end of the threaded cage shank. All parts are of alloy steel, properly heat treated.

tubing connections without fittings. It enlarges end of tube,
leaving .015” clearance for slip fit, so that another
tube can be inserted and soldered like a sweat fitting. It is
excellent for short bends, U-turns, copper, brass, aluminum,
or thin steel tubing. |

Expander Lube - Type B Wilson Expander Lube is a water-soluble lubricant especially
compounded for use with tube expanders. When rolling large or
small, ferrous or non-ferrous tubes, use Wilson Expander Lube
for smoother rolling and longer expander life. For clean tube
ends after rolling, simply wash with water. Wilson Type B |
