Mastercool 71600-A Hydra-Swage Hydraulic Tube Expander 7-Head Kit

The Mastercool 71600-A Hydra-Swage kit uses hydraulic power to expand copper, aluminium and soft steel tubing for brazed or soldered tube-to-tube joints. Seven expander heads cover 3/8" to 1-1/8" tube sizes, and the kit includes the Hydra-Swage 71601 tool, small adapter and inner-outer reamer — a complete hydraulic expansion solution for HVAC/R refrigerant pipework across the full range of residential and commercial tube sizes.

For manual tube expansion, see the Imperial 175-EX Xpandr. For flaring tools for removable connections, see the Imperial 500-FC. See all refrigeration tools at HVAC Shop AU.

Common Questions for Mastercool Expander Kit Hydra-swage Tube - Hydraulic -7 Heads 71600-a

What tube sizes does the Mastercool 71600-A cover?

The 71600-A includes 7 expander heads covering 3/8", 1/2", 5/8", 3/4", 7/8", 1" and 1-1/8" tube sizes — the full range used in residential and commercial HVAC/R refrigerant pipework and air conditioning installations.

What materials can the Mastercool 71600-A expand?

The 71600-A expands copper, aluminium and soft steel tubing using hydraulic power. The hydraulic mechanism provides consistent, controlled expansion force across all supported tube sizes and materials.

What is the advantage of hydraulic tube expansion over manual swaging?

Hydraulic expansion applies consistent, controlled force regardless of tube size or material hardness, reducing the effort required and producing more uniform expanded ends than manual swaging tools. This is particularly useful on larger tube sizes where manual tools require significant force.
