The hydraulic expander HY-EX delivers clear advantages in day-to-day service work: pipes can be expanded in a controlled way while being relieved of stress, without uncontrolled force application. Especially with soft copper and aluminium pipes, this creates a cleanly guided process that ensures consistent results over repeated applications.
Watch an application example in the video, which illustrates how the HY-EX can be used effectively in daily work.
One-handed operation provides direct relief during the workflow. Movements remain controlled, results stay consistent, even during repetitive tasks or under time pressure. This creates efficiency exactly where it matters in practice.
This turns pipe expansion into a controlled, efficient process step with reproducible results.
With a working range from 3/8” to 1 1/8”, the tool reliably covers typical applications in refrigeration and air conditioning technology. The integrated 120° angle supports precise tool guidance, even in hard-to-reach installation situations.
Ten expander heads provide flexibility in daily use. At the same time, the HY-EX integrates seamlessly into existing REFCO expander systems – without any change to established workflows.
