Sorry I never replied, Al.  I do have a tube beading tool set from ATS but it only goes up to to -12 size tube.  I have tried it on larger diameter tube but it was a horrible failure.

Back when I was fabricating my coolant system, I purchased and adjustable tube beading tool. When I was finished, I sold it; maybe to somebody on this list.  Now I'm cutting into the tube to install a oil/water heat changer, and I need to bead 1 ¼" tube for hose connection.

 

Anyone have a tool I could borrow to make a couple of beads?

 

Thanks,

 

Al
