🆚 Flaring vs Swaging vs Expanding
🔺 Flaring
Forms the tube end outward into a 45° flare.Commonly used when connecting copper tubing to compatible flare fittings.
🔧 Swaging
Enlarges the end of tubing so that another compatible tube can be inserted.Useful when preparing tube-to-tube connections during refrigeration installation.
💪 Expanding
Mechanically or hydraulically enlarges the tube end using dedicated expanding heads.Especially useful when fast and consistent tube expansion is required.
