DEWALT DCE450NA-B1 20V MAX Cordless Copper Pipe Expander (Tool Only)

DEWALT DCE450NA-B1 20V Max Cordless Copper Pipe Expander (tool only (no battery))
An innovative, high-performance cordless copper pipe expander on DEWALT's 20V Max battery platform, engineered for professional HVAC, refrigeration, and heating system installers. It quickly and accurately expands soft copper tubing from 1/4 inch up to 1-1/8 inches in just 2 seconds—up to 3 times faster than traditional manual expanders. This enables technicians to connect copper pipes directly without couplings. Maximum durability is ensured by nickel-plated steel jaws and high-grade steel expansion heads, built to withstand heavy-duty jobsite use for the long haul.

Features
- 3x Faster Performance: Expands copper pipes in just 2 seconds, saving time and increasing on-site installation speed up to 3 times compared to manual systems.
- Automatic Rotating Head: The expansion head features an automatic rotating mechanism during operation, ensuring uniform, perfectly round expansions for a precise fit.
- 2-Stage Expansion Control: The 2-position adjustable mechanism allows precise control over expansion depth and force, preventing over-thinning or cracking of the copper pipe.
- High-Durability Steel Construction: Expansion heads and jaw mechanism are made of premium steel with nickel plating, delivering exceptional strength and resistance to torque and pressure when expanding thick pipes.
- Coupling-Free Efficiency: Allows direct pipe-to-pipe brazed connections (swaging), reducing the cost of couplings and minimizing the risk of refrigerant leaks.

Applications
- Expanding soft copper pipe ends for joints in HVAC and all types of air conditioning systems
- Installation and maintenance of freezers, cold rooms, and commercial/industrial refrigeration systems
- Piping work for heating systems and fluid circulation systems utilizing copper tubing as the primary structure
