T-Drill T-35 & T-65 collaring machines for copper

pipe material was developed in the 1970s and is still – nearly 50 years later – one of the major inventions in the field. The same important principle has been used for decades and has seen continuous improvements to the product range. These efforts have resulted in larger, highly automated tube fabrication machinery and more efficient and ergonomically designed portable machine tools. An example of this kind of machine is the T-Drill T-35, a portable tee forming machine for copper tubes. It is easy to carry within a plumber’s daily on-site environment, but powerful enough to get the job done in extreme conditions. The larger T-65 or cordless T-65B is the choice when collaring capacity up to 54mm is needed. With greater power source and wide option range this

THE patented T-Drill tube collaring (tee forming or branching) method has established its reputation globally. This T-Drill method of producing outlets to branch connections directly from run

hand tool has high level capacity and operating range. T-Drill’s product family of portable machines offer a number of benefits for end-users when the run tube sizes of copper tubes are 15 and 219mm and the collars are between 8 to 114mm. While giving comparable quality to commercial tee fittings, the machines also reduce waste because the T-Drill method eliminates the cutting of the pipe, two brazed joints and fitting costs. T-Drill portable machine tools are easy to use, low-noise tee forming machines for professionals.
