Heat the end 3/8 of the tubing till dull red, let it cool and that modified wrench can be used to turn a flange for making a tri clamp connection. It would work without annealing the copper but annealing it will make it easier to stretch.
When you roll the lip your only taking the width of the flange.MooseMan wrote: ↑Wed Apr 03, 2024 9:51 pm I did mine with a wooden clamp jig I made, and a ball pein hammer.
It works well but it's s noisy!
The hardness of my 2.5" would have definitely needed annealing if I tried the suggested way, but if I ever need to do another flange I'll try it, nice one duke.
No. Unfortunately I don't think we will be hearing from Stillerboy again. Last time we talked he told me he felt his time was better spent elsewhere. He helped me immensely and I'm sure many others. I personally will miss him.dukethebeagle120 wrote: ↑Thu Apr 04, 2024 2:36 amWhen you roll the lip your only taking the width of the flange.MooseMan wrote: ↑Wed Apr 03, 2024 9:51 pm I did mine with a wooden clamp jig I made, and a ball pein hammer.

So it may seem stiff ,but it's really not.
The pipe shown was the. Heavey guage copper and I did it with little effort.
Once rolled you take a hammer and a flat surface and peen out the high spots.
Takes 10-15 minutes in all but save's in waiting for flanges in your builds
I little filing to make it "Purdy" then your off again.
Dunno if he's still around,but stillerboy showed me some pretty good tricks on here a few years ago.

Yeah, Mars’s style has always been direct, mostly because of his passion for distilling and wanting others to do the same. Always willing to share his knowledge, but Mars is getting up there in age and has had to prioritize his time. It’s unfortunate to lose such a competent distiller, especially for the new folks here.
Yummy, StillerBoy's last post was Mar 15 of 2023, not last month.Bradster68 wrote: ↑Thu Apr 04, 2024 6:11 amWell from emails we had back and forth that's what it appeared to me. Obviously I misunderstood what he was explaining. My mistake

Use the crack ground into the wrench to roll out the metal.
When you get it shaped hammer it level and a lite sanding on a flat surface will square it up.
Easy peasy.15 minute job

If you do not have a screen name handy, simply scroll down to the bottom right of any page and click on Members (next to Delete Cookies).
Click on Find a member and enter the Screen name, then Search. If you don't remember the screen name, go to your kitchen and fix yourself a drink (or refresh the one you're drinking). It then may come to you.
This really comes in handy when you want to retrieve a member's post you remember reading but can't remember the thread it was posted on.

What are you using for gaskets?dukethebeagle120 wrote: ↑Fri Apr 05, 2024 9:37 am No.
Never had an issue
I do tighten the clamp down tight though
Usually they leak cause of not being level.
After rolling,a quick sanding to level out the mating surface takes care of that
