There are many different products that utilise tubes in their design, whether it is fencing, handrails, plumbing or heating systems. In each case the tubing needs to be durable so that it doesn’t bow, bend or warp. This can be difficult when long sections are needed. A solution is to utilise smaller sections of tube joined together to increase the strength and cut the amount of weight that each section is bearing.

The problem with utilising sections of tubing attached together is the fact that it raises the number of joints. This can cause problems such as a higher potential of leaks occurring. To tackle this, the tubes need to be joined together snugly and properly sealed. The surface can be smoothed in several ways if necessary too.

In order for tubes to fit together snugly the ends may need to be reduced slightly so they can slide together. It is vital that the reduction is correct and doesn’t affect the shape of the tube. If this occurs it can result in a bad fit. The importance means the reduction requirements should be carefully calculated and the process done with care to a precise tolerance.
