ROLOCK – Expander power torque 5/16–1.3/4″


Single Page Thumbnail

The ROLOCK Expander Power Torque (5/16–1.3/4″ / 8–42 mm) is a heavy-duty manual pipe expanding tool designed for expanding, reducing, and calibrating soft and semi-hard pipes as well as producing tapers. Engineered for efficient, fitting-free pipe installation in sanitary, heating, gas, air-conditioning, and refrigeration systems, it eliminates the purchase and storage of fittings and cuts soldering materials, joints, and labor by up to 50%.

Pipe expanding tools in the ROLOCK series feature advanced EPT-Technology (Enclosed Power Transmission) and titanium nitride (TiN) coated expander heads, delivering optimum force transmission, long-lasting wear protection, and toolless capillary gap adjustments across copper, aluminium, precision steel, and stainless steel pipes.

Key Features & Application Benefits

  • EPT-Technology (Enclosed Power Transmission): Concealed bent lever protects the inner mechanism against dirt and external mechanical damage while optimizing force flow in relation to hand effort.
  • 50% Cost & Resource Savings: Eliminates the cost of buying and storing fittings by converting deformed pipes and cut-offs into usable fittings. Reduces labor, soldering materials, joints, and energy by 50%.
  • TiN Coating (Titanium Nitride): Expander heads feature high surface hardness (2,300 HV) for abrasive wear protection, lower friction values compared to steel, chemical resistance, and universal longevity.
  • Twist and Lock System: Resilient steel receptacle with bayonet lock enables fast, secure changing of twist-lock and screwable expander heads.
  • Toolless Fine Adjustment: Toolless adjustment of expanding dimensions and capillary gaps ensures accurate pipe connections according to DVGW standards.
  • High-Performance Forged Aluminium Body: Tough, lightweight design provides superior handling and wear resistance.
  • Long Lever Arms & Ergonomic Handles: Long lever arms minimize physical force required, while non-slip ergonomic handles prevent clamping and slipping.
  • Precision Expander Segments: Extra-long segments with 6 rivets and guide channels deliver compulsory guidance for centered positioning, uniform capillary gaps, and recalibration of irregular pipe ends.
