FAQs
Q: Can I expand tubing with the MalcoEdge Hydraulic Tube Expander without rotating the tubing? A: No, the tubing or the tool must be rotated to retain a round shape during forming. Otherwise the tubing will be hexagonal in shape, as the tubing will follow the shape of the forming head in the expanded position. Q: Are replacement forming heads available for the MalcoEdge Hydraulic Tube Expander Kit? A: Yes, see your local Malco distributor for assistance with replacement parts. Q: Can I expand my tubing in one motion? A: No, we recommend you partially expand the tubing then release, rotate, and re-apply pressure multiple times. Applying full expansion in one motion will result in hexagonal tubing and/or cracking. Q: Is tubing measured on the outside or inside diameter of the product? A: Tubing is measured on the outer diameter of the tube.
