How do you do this to a pipe?

[ATAl]

I have some bundy pipe and want to cut it down then add a bump in the pipe like the one shown in the pic so that I can attach a water pipe, what tool is needed to do this?

[touge_ae101]

could probably get away with just using a decent hoseclip.

other than that you can add a weld around the end of the pipe by putting heaps of wire into it. or MIG would probably be easier.

orr just cut the end off another pipe and weld it onto the one you want it on?

flaring tool. Pipe fitters or plumbers would have one. What size pipe is it?

[ATAl]

I have two separate pipes, one is 5mm ID, 8mm OD, the other 7mm ID, 10mm OD.

yep flaring tool, basically a ball bearing which when screwd makes a bulge in the pipe.
DIY project invloved flaring 10 pipes. I was dead at the end of the day...but with much larger arms...

Il ask the guys at work if we have one I can borrow and get back to you

A flaring tool will do the end flare (more like brakelines), but the tool you probably actually want is a crouxing tool - plumbers use them.

Thanks heaps, but are you in welly or palmy? Might be a bit far to go to palmy to get a tool

but the tool you probably actually want is a crouxing tool

What is this tool? I googled it and got nothing...

By the way, I want to make the bulges in the pipe, not flare out the end.

the right tool is the plumbers one, but quite expensive to buy for just a few turns. you better of taking to some where for them to do it for you like power steering shop or hydralink etc,

Plumbers use a crox tool but it won't come in the sizes you want. It's used on copper pipe with ID's of 12mm, 18mm and 23mm - more commonly known as 15mm, 20mm and 25mmcopper. You can get bigger ones but only larger companies that do commercial jobs will have them.

In palmy, but in welly most weekends

[ATAl]

Ok, that makes sense then.

Let me know if you can borrow the tool, that would help heaps. Cheers.

Could you get a pipe with slightly thicker walls than you need and lathe it down into that shape?

[ATAl]

Wow that's a hard way to do it

No, it wouldn't work, the pipe is about a meter long and bends around a lot so it would never work on a lathe.

[GT4-Addict]

Not even if you were just lathing a groove into the tip in order for it to make the "notches" for the hose to slip onto?

[Bling]

Weld a bead on

if only you could get the correct size eh?

how about find a factory bit of pipe that has the barbs.. and braze or weld it on the end of your pipe. then paint or get it gold passivated heh.

[frost]

BTW, you dont really need the bump on the inner part, its only there to stop the hose from slipping UP the pipe, and that is very unlikely, only if your clamp was loose would it move,

just flair the end and be done,

[ATAl]

Yip not worried about the pipe slipping up, just worried about it coming off, wouldn't a flare eventually cut through the pipe?

[frost]

not if you use the proper tube cutting tool, instead of hack saw,
it looks like a monkey wrench but with a round blade on it,
you spin it round the tube a few times and it snaps off real clean,

you should be able to find these tools at auto shop or hardware shop,
not too badly priced for both cutter and flaring tool,
