Description
Product Summary
The NAVAC NTE7 is a manual lever-style tube expander built to swage soft copper tubing from 3/8" through 7/8" O.D. It produces clean, uniform swaged sockets that let you join tubing of the same size without a coupling, cutting fitting count and potential leak points on line set and refrigerant piping work.
Its simple mechanical construction and foldable handles keep the tool compact enough to ride in a tool bag, while the long lever gives steady control through each expansion. No battery, charger or hydraulics are required, so it is always ready on the job.
Key Features
- 5 Expansion Sizes: Expander heads for 3/8", 1/2", 5/8", 3/4" and 7/8" O.D. copper cover the most common residential and light commercial line sizes.
- Foldable Design: Handles fold down for compact storage and easy carrying between jobs.
- Simple Mechanical Structure: Few moving parts means reliable operation and minimal maintenance.
- Manual Operation: Lever action needs no power source, so it works anywhere.
- Fewer Fittings: Swaged joints eliminate couplings, reducing material cost and braze joints.
- Easy to Use: Straightforward head selection and lever expansion for consistent results.
