(How To Make Copper Pipe Round Again)
Hi there! Today, I wanted to share with you how to make your own copper pipe round again. Whether you’re a handyman or just trying to upgrade your existing pipes, this guide will have you on your way.
Materials needed:
– Copper pipe (example: 10 gauge)
– Lstellen tool
– Mild steel pliers
– Tool bought in hardware store for making curved ends
– Barbbacks for making small holes in each corner
Instructions:
Step 1: Gather your tools
First, you’ll need to gather all the necessary materials. Make sure you have lstellen tools, mild steel pliers, barbbacks, and pipe. If you don’t have these tools, you can buy them online at a hardware store.
Step 2: Prepare the copper pipe
Now that you’ve gathered all the materials, it’s time to prepare the copper pipe. Hold the end of the copper pipe by its handle and use light pressure to bend it. Be careful not to strain it too much.
Step 3: Cut the corners
Once you’ve bent the copper pipe into the shape you want, it’s time to cut the corners using barbbacks. Make sure you cut accurately so that the resulting round ends match the curvature of the bend.
Step 4: Fill the hole with water
To make your new copper pipe round again, fill the hole with water. Use a clean bowl or jar to hold the water.
Step 5: Measure the hole
When filling the hole, measure the distance between the bottom of the end and the top of the newly formed round. This is the distance where the copper pipe is rounded.
Step 6: Install the end cap
Next, install the end cap onto the newly formed round. Make sure it fits snugly around the curve of the bend.
Step 7: Test the pipe
Finally, test the round pipe by removing the edge of the bend and turning it counterclockwise. Check if it turns correctly and makes a straight line through the pipe. If it doesn’t turn correctly, adjust the direction of the bending until it does.
