elliott-tool 4480 SERIES Single Roll Beading Expanders 4480-1512

elliott-tool 4480 SERIES Single Roll Beading Expanders  4480-1512 Elliott’s 4480 Series Single Roll Beading Expanders expand 
the tube into the tube sheet while forming a bead at the end 
of the tube required in firetube boiler applications.
The 4480 Series combines three operations (rolling, 
beading,
re-rolling) into one, saving significant time and money. 
Additionally, the single beading roll design enables standard 
motors to provide enough torque to successfully bead the 
tube.
“
We have used Elliott’s single roll 
beading expander on two different 
retube projects so far and the finished 
look of the tube bead is machine quality. 
Our boilermakers said this was the 
best tool they have ever used. They will 
never pick up a pneumatic hammer and 
beading tool again!
