FAQs
Q1
Can I expand tubing with the MalcoEdge Hydraulic Tube Expander without rotating the tubing?
⌄
Can I expand tubing with the MalcoEdge Hydraulic Tube Expander without rotating the tubing?
⌄
No. The tubing or the tool must be rotated during forming to maintain a round shape. Without rotation, the tubing will follow the shape of the forming head and result in a hexagonal shape.
Q2
Are replacement forming heads available for the MalcoEdge Hydraulic Tube Expander Kit?
⌄
Are replacement forming heads available for the MalcoEdge Hydraulic Tube Expander Kit?
⌄
Yes. See your local Malco distributor for assistance with replacement parts.
Q3
Can I expand my tubing in one motion?
⌄
Can I expand my tubing in one motion?
⌄
No. We recommend partially expanding the tubing, then releasing, rotating, and re-applying pressure multiple times. Applying full expansion in one motion will result in hexagonal tubing and/or cracking.
Q4
Is tubing measured on the outside or inside diameter?
⌄
Is tubing measured on the outside or inside diameter?
⌄
Tubing is measured on the outer diameter of the tube.
