T-DRILL ND-54 Tube End Notcher

T-DRILL ND-54 Tube End Notcher - 12–54mm

Tube end notcher for branch tube preparation

The T-DRILL ND-54 tube end notcher is used for cutting and dimpling branched tube ends to enable improved flow characteristics. It is designed as a complement to the T-DRILL tee forming system.

The tool cuts a half-moon shaped coupon from each side of the branch tube to allow full flow and simultaneously presses in a dimple that rests on the rim of the tee and acts as a depth stop.

A second dimple positioned above acts as a point of inspection, resulting in an inspectable brazed joint.

The ND-54 is used for preparing branch tube ends prior to insertion into the collar formed in the run tube.
