Description

Large radius tube bending with edge expanding are two techniques used to create custom shapes and designs.

Edge expanding involves stretching the end of a copper tube to increase its diameter while maintaining the wall thickness. We use this technique to connect two different sized pipes or to create a flared end for a fitting.

Large radius tube bending involves bending copper tubing at a gentle curve to create a wider radius of curvature. We use this technique to create custom bends that fit specific installation requirements or to create aesthetically pleasing designs.

These two techniques require specialized tools and expertise to ensure that the copper tube is not damaged during the fabrication process.
