4. Swaging is a tools for connecting copper pipe with
other copper pipe. Actually you must weld the copper pipe
after you swaging a copper pipe so the pipe will not leak
when used. The function of swaging is to make a larger
diameter of copper pipe so the pipe of the same size can
be plugged in.

Swaging
5. Identification
The material which is
use for making swaging
tool must be solid, tough,
hard, rigid, smooth,
noncombustible, insoluble,
and opaque.

6. Swaging tools consist of two main components,
there are clamped tool and punch tool.

Punch Tool
First, punch tools on the bellow there is the drill swaging,
drill swaging is shaped like a ice cream cone and the tip is
pointed and consists of five drill bit . Ice cream cone fitted on the
neck of the swaging.
On the top neck of punch tool there is a horizontal simple
metal piece. A horizontal simple metal piece is shaped like a
circular. That fits into the handle and enables rotation by the
user (called roller swaging) and the function of it to rotate and
pressed the drill swaging so the diameter of copper pipe is to be
more larger.
The other parts of punch tool is a handle. The handle is
shaped like inverted letter U with a rectangular prism on both
legs. On the inner side the legs there is a slot that serves to lock
position so the tools not invariable.

9. Clamp Tool
Second, clamp tool have two
fasteners on the right and the left of the
clamp. The fasteners are shaped like wings of
butterfly. The fasteners is called nut
butterfly.
The clamp have 6 block. The block
range in size from the smallest which has a
diameter of exactly 1/8 inch, to the biggest
which has a diameter of exactly 6/8 inch.
This clamp has a height of
approximately 2cm. It has a length of
approximately 8cm. It has a width of
approximately 4cm.
10. How to Use
Swaging Tool
1. Loosen the butterfly nut and open the clamp blocks.
The pipe line ready for grip, adjust the diameter of the
pipe with a clamp block.
2. Pinch the pipe on the block with the size of 6 mm in
height above the surface of the block clamp and tighten
the butterfly nut block.
3. Lay drill swaging in the middle of the pipe diameter,
rotate the roller swaging in clockwise direction , do it
until the pipe is wide and the slope of pipe touch the
clamps block.
