Engineered for precision and ease of use, this aluminium pipe beading tool delivers clean, uniform beads on tubing from 16mm to 102mm in diameter. Optimised for thin-wall materials such as 1.6mm aluminium, it produces a professional finish with minimal effort. It can also be used on tougher metals, including stainless steel, with a little extra time and care, ensuring strong, reliable results.

The adjustable top tension knob allows complete control over bead depth. A gentle adjustment creates a subtle bead, while a firmer setting produces a more pronounced profileƒ??giving you the flexibility to match the requirements of your project. For higher-volume or larger-diameter work, the shaft can be driven by a drill, increasing speed and reducing manual effort.

Ideal for custom intercooler piping, fuel lines, and a wide range of fabrication projects, this tool offers dependable performance, precise control, and consistent results every time.

Aluminium Pipe Beading Tool

What is it used for?
Forming the hard sections of a custom pipework run - intercooler and intake plumbing, coolant runs and air feeds. A rigid section holds the bore round under pressure and gives a tidier installation than a long unsupported flexible hose.

What size do I order?
Order by outside diameter, because that is what your hose or coupler slides over - match it to the internal diameter of the silicone or rubber hose you are using. Measure with vernier callipers rather than a tape.

What material and rating is it?
T6063 aluminium alloy with a 1.6mm wall, rated -40C to +220C. T6063 gives good strength and corrosion resistance at low weight, sheds heat well, and will not rust like mild steel.

Aluminium or stainless - which should I choose?
Aluminium is lighter, cheaper and rejects heat faster, which makes it the usual choice for intercooler and intake pipework. Stainless is stronger, far better in salt environments and takes a superior polish, so it suits marine work and visible show pipework. Both are rated -40C to +220C and can be mixed in one system.

Can I cut, weld or polish it?
All three. Cut with a pipe cutter or fine-tooth blade and deburr inside and out. Both T6063 and 304 TIG weld well, though aluminium softens slightly in the heat-affected zone. Both polish up, and aluminium can be anodised or powder-coated - just mask where the hose clamps on, because a thick coating under a clamp can creep and loosen the joint.

How do I join it into a system?
Slide silicone or rubber coupling hose over the end and clamp it. That is how most intake and charge air systems are assembled, and the flexible joints absorb engine movement and vibration that a welded system would transmit. T-bolt clamps on pressurised joints, stainless worm drive clips on coolant.
