Questions & Answers

How does this relate to expanding One 5 inch diameter pipe should fit inside one 1 inch diameter pipe. Does the pipe have a diameter of 5 od?

A 1 3/8 pipe should fit inside the device, so I believe it would fit a 1 inch pipe as well. The fine line is 5"

How does this relate to expanding There is just enough room inside a 1 pipe to fit 5 pipes. Does the pipe have a diameter of 5 od?

According to the way you ask the question, it would be shrunken. You might want to expand number two if you are expanding number one. Five inches of outer diameter to one inch of inner diameter Depending on the ID, it may be as small as 5". was unable to get this to work on stainless steel. You should be able to use thin wall exhaust if you're using that. This is a cast center, so it won't take a lot of effort to break Your parts have to be mobile, and it has to be a single-use part If it's not working, I recommend getting it repaired by your local exhaust repair I'm going to modify mine at some point with a grade 8 shoulder bolt.

This might be ok for piping with very thin walls it's not acceptable for exhaust piping as a general rule
3/5

There is not much to speak of the overall quality here, but this is the best I can do. The only joints I needed to expand were two shoulders, and figured that it would be worth it if it lasted for a few days. This did not happen. I anticipate that it will work for thin walled tubing, but not for the stainless I want to use it for, even when heated. Please note that if you heat your band above red hot it will burn it. In my case, I was trying to use it on a There is nothing special about the stainless steel. As a pre-med student, I did You can grease the threads with oil. One of the issues (intending to address? i. e. that the center bolt is cast or made from It will be easy to upload once I get a picture. However, I am not holding my breath in hopes of being able to modify a grade 8 bolt. My guess is something else will snap if I can get the bolt to hold, but I'm curious about it Using thin wall tubing might be a good choice if you intend to use them. You do not need to bother if you are going to use it on something "typical" or "regular".

According to the description, the bottle breaks
3/5

For an RV generator, I only needed to extend one joint on a regular exhaust pipe of 1 1/4" in diameter. When it was used for the first time, the bolt sheered right where the threads began. A new bolt was obtained at the hardware store. Be aware that this one The grade I got was a 10. As for the nut, I stuck to metric so it would fit properly at the end of the tool. This is obviously the metric version of a standard Grade 8 bolt. Thus, I could expand my business in the way I needed to. It no longer has the extra long bolt head that the original tool came with, but it still works. You may want to bring the entire broken tool with you into the shop so you can determine the length and size necessary.

It works, but is easy to break
3/5

With this I was able to stretch out 1 3/8" pipe legs to 1 1/2" for casters on my table saw. It was too heavy to be turned by my impact wrench. By using a 3/4" strong arm, I was able to stretch my caster enough to fit one leg. After the second leg, the bolt in the middle The bolt needs to be stronger.

A false advertisement was made
3/5

The tool does not work as described it only goes up to 1, not down One eighth inch. Even if it did fit inside 1, it wouldn't measure 24" The pipe was only 3/16" ID when I bought it, so it was useless. Despite spending a lot of money, it was wasted.

The first time I used it, it broke
3/5

After reading the reviews, I hoped that they would work for the two expansions I was in need of. The first pipe did not expand at all after it broke and on the second pipe did not expand after it broke.
