Ill using the rullcr cxpaiiders a copper ferrule must beplaced in the threaded plug hole in the outside sheet to preventthe threads from being injured by the expander guide. The sectional expander for seating the copper ferrule in theflue sheet, which can be used only from the firebox side of thesheet, is shown in Fig. 24.

With this tool it is some-times necessary to have a short or donkey mandrel with alarger diameter at the small end to prevent the end of the man-drel from extending so far through the expander as to bearagainst tubes having a short radius. The beading tool used onboth ends of the arch tubes is shown in Fig. 26. Gages are provided for nearly all of the tools illustrated. Thisis to insure the tools being uniformly made. Gages are fur-nished to the manufacturers on application, but in connection
