Swage punches drive into the tube end using a hammer or swaging lever tool, forming a bell-shaped socket without cutting or brazing fittings. The 70045 is sized for 5\/8-inch OD copper tube, which corresponds to standard 1\/2-inch nominal copper pipe used in refrigeration and HVAC line sets. HVAC and refrigeration technicians keep swage punches in their service kits for field fabrication of swaged joints on ACR and plumbing copper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis swage punch is used in residential and light commercial HVAC, refrigeration, and plumbing applications wherever copper tubing joints are field-fabricated by swaging rather than by soldering separate couplings. Typical install scenarios include fabricating suction and liquid line connections, evaporator coil piping, and domestic water supply rough-in where copper tube swaging is permitted by local code. The 70045 is also cross-referenced as a replacement for Imperial part 93-S-10.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSized for 5\/8-inch OD copper tubing, matching standard 1\/2-inch nominal ACR and plumbing copper\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eForms a bell-socket swage that eliminates the need for a separate coupling fitting at the joint\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with standard swaging lever sets and hammer-drive swaging blocks\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCross-references to Imperial part 93-S-10 for direct replacement sourcing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with 5\/8-inch OD copper tubing.

Ensure the tube end is cut square, deburred, and cleaned before swaging to produce a leak-free joint. When using a hammer-drive method, support the tube firmly in the appropriate swaging block to prevent deformation. Follow local mechanical and plumbing codes for approved joint methods before swaging in lieu of brazed or soldered couplings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTube OD Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication\u003c\/strong\u003e: Copper tube swaging\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: UNIWELD\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 70045\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"UNIWELD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51138323808562,"sku":"70045","price":18.48,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/305531089.jpg?v=1778253406","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/uniweld-70045-swage-punch-5-8-inch-od","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
