END-FINISHING TOOLS - A variety of end finishing tools
are available that perform different functions. Not every
tool is included with your tooling package. If you are
unsure as to what was included, please consult your dis-
tributor or review the delivery receipt and invoice. Each
tool is marked with the appropriate size.
HPF-300 - A tool for making 45 and 90 degree flanges on
pipe ends. Usually for manifold connections.
DD-134/212- A tool for doming pipe ends or making male
ball expansions when used in conjunction with the male
ball expanders.
DD-134/212 & BFED-200/214 - Tools for flaring pipe ends
to make female ball expansions. Each tool is “stepped”
and has the ability to flare two different sizes. The BFED-
134/214 is used for tubing sizes 1-3/4” and 2-1/4” while
the BFED-200/212 is used for tubing sizes 2” and 2-1/2”.
B-212- A tool used for making male ball expansions on
2-1/2” pipe ends.
CFT-200 & CFT-214 - Tools for making manifold flanges
on 2” and 2-1/4” pipe ends. Not included in standard
tooling packages.
REDUCING TOOLS - Reducing tools are used for
reducing or “shrinking” pipe ends to exact outside diame-
ters. Each tool is marked with the appropriate size. It is
important to understand that the size marked on the tool
will be the size that the tubing will be reduced down to. For
example, a tool marked 200 will reduce 2-1/4” tubing
down to 2” O.D. and a tool marked 214 will reduce
2-1/2” tubing down to 2-1/4” O.D. Not included in
standard tooling packages.
HCT-214/212 - This tool is for making header flanges or
“collectors” on 2-1/4” and 2-1/2” pipe ends. This
eliminates the need to purchase a collector when
installing header type manifolds.
Not included in standard tooling packages.
HSRO- A hand held pipe reshaping tool that is used for
reshaping pipe ends while the tubing remains on the
vehicle. By tapping the tool with a hammer or mallet the
tool can be used to reshape pipe ends. Can be used inter-
nally or externally by simply reversing the tool. Not avail-
able in standard tooling packages.
BENDING PLUGS - Bending plugs are used to contain
the shape of pipe ends during the bending process when
the radius die comes in close proximity to the pipe end.
Once the bend is completed, the bending plug is removed.
Not included in standard tooling packages.
