EXPAND tubing to fit perfectly

If you have a piece of tubing but it doesn’t fit a pipe or a fitting for a piece of tube. There’s an easy way to expand the Flexible tubing to fit whatever you need. Swaging tool is very useful. They typically use these in plumbing to expand copper pipe but are use these all the time to expand flexible tubing. If you need that perfect fit you can put a little bit of oil on to the swaging tool, Then slide the tubing over the swaging tool to the size you want. A little bit of heat will expand the tube to the right size. When you pull the two being off you have a nice fit without a lot of fuss. Hope you found the video useful.

Thanks for this! Of course I ordered the staging tool from Amazon, and will use my hairdryer. 😂. But my patio fountain will be fixed by tomorrow. You’re awesome!

You Sir have just saved me so much time and money! Thank you for making the video

[@shred46]

Thanks for the great video! Be careful not to use any petroleum greases or oils because it can degrade many plastics and rubber. Silicone or lithium grease would be safer.

[@sophiepoint6270]

Just what I’ve been looking for! THANK YOU!!

[@chrisbearden1331]

THANK YOU! i didnt have that tool so i used a fat pen instead :D

[@hulkgqnissanpatrol6121]

Tie some cotton around the tip to shrink it leaving a long section, apply some Vaseline/petroleum jelly, insert the hose as fare as possible 2"-3" is fine.
Then pull the cotton thread out.
You now have a tighter fit than can easily hold 20+psi of air and or water.
No need to change its chemical structure and no damaged hoses.

How about decreasing a larger pipe size so it can enter a smaller pipe

[@coppulor6500]

Are you trying to be funny or are you saying that you have a rigid larger pipe?

[@artifactsantlersoh]

Thank you

[@MG-hb7mt]

Awesome!!😎👍🏿

[@user-og8sl3yj9o]

works on 45mm silicone hose too? and if so how much is the tolerance ?

[@gasgiant7122]

Hi, will this method work with silicone hose? I need to fit 10mm Id hose onto a 15mm or so od fitting in a caravan sink waste. Thanks for the tip.

[@tonynes3577]

You probably should not use the petroleum jelly. Try it by just heating the plastic with a hairdryer.

[@rsmolkin]

Any suggestions for how to connect 2 tubes of different diameters? Like 5/16 to 1/4?

[@Calzone808]

a coupler

[@arezxx5244]

[@JoBianco]

Would that be water tight?

[@terrybutler1911]

[@Aditzu21]

amazing! if only everyone had a specialised tool like yours. completely pointless video, if I had that tool I wouldn't need this video would I?

[@danielscheive7619]

The video justifies why you need this tool, and let me know when you get one I'd like to borrow it.

[@jong4939]

@@danielscheive7619 ME TOO.

[@michaelgieseking77]

refer to this video to figure out how to use it.

[@clarkfarrar6683]

Maybe you have a drill bit the right size. Use the shank as your tool.

[@resplendentpeace]

Or maybe someone will watch this video and discover the tool, pick one up for 8 bucks, and use it to easily complete a task that previously seemed almost impossible. Not so pointless to me!
