What Are Tubing Tools?

Tubing tools are specialized instruments designed for working with the various types of pipes and tubes used in HVAC systems. These tools are specialized for tasks such as cutting, bending, crimping, and connecting tubing, which are essential for setting up and maintaining HVAC systems. The accuracy and quality of these tools directly impact the performance and longevity of the HVAC equipment and systems.

Types of Tubing Tools

  1. Tubing Cutters
    • Function: Cleanly and precisely cut tubing to the desired length.
    • Types: The NTC6, NTC12, NTC15 provide precise cuts in every use with a sharp cutting blade and an aluminum alloy body.
    • Use: Ideal for cutting copper, aluminum, and plastic tubing without leaving burrs that can affect connections.
  2. Tube Benders
    • Function: Bend tubing into specific angles or shapes.
    • Types: The NTB7 ratcheting tube bender is a compact and reliable tool for smooth sweeping bends. Its unique crossbar accommodates seven sizes in one tubing size selector, simplifying the choice for various tubing sizes. Alternatively, the NTB7L BreakFree® Power Tube Bender which specializes in bending large diameter tubes was the recipient of the 2023 Dealer Design Award.
    • Use: Essential for creating custom bends in copper or aluminum tubes, ensuring a proper fit within the HVAC system.
  3. Tube Expanders
    • Function: Expand the end of a tube to fit into a connector or fitting.
    • Types: The NTE11L BreakFree® Power Tube Expander can expand a tube in 12 seconds with the press of a single button and its long lasting battery allows for up to 200 expansions with a single charge.
    • Use: Useful for preparing tubing ends for joint connections, improving fit and sealing.
  4. Tube Deburring Tools
    • Function: Remove sharp edges and burrs from cut tubing.
    • Types: The NTD28 Tube Deburring Tool is light, compact, and comes with 2 additional spare blades.
    • Use: Ensures smooth edges for better connections and reduces the risk of damaging other components.

Why Professional-Grade Tubing Tools Are Essential for HVAC Systems Technicians

  • Precision and Accuracy: Tubing tools provide the precision needed for accurate cuts, bends, and connections. Properly executed tubing work ensures that HVAC systems function efficiently, minimizing energy losses and ensuring optimal performance.
  • Reliability and Safety: Quality tubing tools help create secure and leak-proof connections. In HVAC systems, especially those handling refrigerants, leaks can lead to system inefficiencies and potential safety hazards. Reliable tools help prevent these issues.
  • Efficiency and Time-Saving: Efficiently designed tubing tools streamline the installation and maintenance process. By using the right tools, HVAC technicians can complete tasks more quickly and with fewer errors, which saves time and reduces labor costs.
  • Durability and Longevity: Properly maintained and high-quality tubing tools contribute to the longevity of HVAC systems. Tools that ensure precise fittings and connections help prevent premature wear and tear on HVAC components.
  • Compliance with Standards: Using the right tubing tools helps HVAC technicians adhere to industry standards and regulations. Proper installation and maintenance practices supported by reliable tools ensure that systems meet performance and safety standards.
