Pipe and Tube Expander Head YATO YT-2920 — black/red, expander head

YATO YT-2920 expander head is a dedicated accessory for tube and pipe expansion tasks. Finished in black and red, the expander head is designed to be mounted on compatible expansion tools to enlarge or shape pipe ends for fittings and joints. It is suitable for use where controlled, repeatable deformation of copper, brass or thin-walled steel tubing is required in plumbing, HVAC and general metalworking applications.

Advantages

The expander head provides a stable, concentric expansion profile that helps ensure reliable fitment of fittings and sleeves. Its color-coded finish aids quick visual identification on the workbench, while durable construction delivers consistent performance over repeated cycles. The accessory reduces the need for flame or mechanical soldering methods by producing accurate pipe end shapes for mechanical joints.

Suitable for

• Expanding and shaping copper and brass tubing
• Preparing pipe ends for compression fittings and sleeves
• On-site plumbing repairs and installations
• HVAC refrigeration and air conditioning pipework
• General metalwork where controlled tube end deformation is required

Key specifications

• Purpose: tube and pipe end expansion
• Finish: black and red
• Material compatibility: copper, brass, thin-walled steel tubing
• Mounting: designed for use with compatible expander tools
• Application areas: plumbing, HVAC, metalworking

How to use

Mount the YATO expander head onto a compatible expansion tool according to the tool manufacturer's instructions. Insert the pipe or tube end into the expander head and operate the tool to gradually open the expander profile, enlarging the pipe end to the required diameter. Perform the expansion in controlled increments, checking fitment with the intended fitting or sleeve as you proceed. After use, clean the head of debris and store it in a dry place.

Usage recommendations

Use the expander head with tools and fittings that match the tube material and wall thickness. Avoid using the head on heavily corroded or excessively thick-walled pipe unless the expander is rated for such materials. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment and follow safe tool operation practices to maintain consistent results and prolong accessory life.
