Flaring Boiler Tube Expanders

3400 Series Flaring Boiler Expanders are the recommended tube expanders for expanding and flaring tubes in Firetube and watertube boilers. The prong style collar allows for uniform flare lengths as well as torque controlled tube rolling to obtain uniform expanded joints.

  • Tube Size: 1.500” to 4.000” (38.1 – 101.6mm) OD
  • Roll Type: Flaring
  • Application: Firetube and Watertube Boiler
Straight Boiler Tube Expanders

3300 Series
Straight Boiler Tube Expanders

3300 Series Straight Boiler Expanders are the preferred tube expanders for expanding tubes in Firetube boilers or in self-contained steam boiler units. They are recommended for any requirement for parallel expansion of tubes in tube sheets.

  • Tube Size: 1.500” to 4.000” (38.1 – 101.6mm) OD
  • Roll Type: Straight
  • Application: Firetube Boiler and Steam Boiler
Deep Roll Boiler Tube Expanders
