3/4" OD copper K type tube Roller
Re: 3/4" OD copper K type tube Roller
Marty’s method worked perfectly for me. I only suggest the rubber mallet so as to not damage the end of the tube when pushing/wringing it into the firebox tube sheet. If you make both tube sheets with an oversize hole, it’s going to be a PITA trying to keep the tube from spinning when you go to expand it.

Depends on the misalignment ...and lubricant used
Too many things going on to bother listing them.

I am just curious if that is the od or id of the tube?Marty_Knox wrote: ↑Wed Jan 27, 2021 10:18 am I have always used 1/4 of the tube diameter. That would be 1/4" for a 1" diameter tube. Larger diameter tubes need a larger ligament.
Thank you,
Jeff
