Rothenberger - Expander Head 1.5/8"x2mm S-type - 11362

Features of the Rothenberger 1.5/8x2mm Expander Head

The Rothenberger 1.5/8x2mm expander head (item code 11362) is an essential component for plumbing and refrigeration professionals. Specifically designed for the Rothenberger S-series expanders, this precision head allows for accurate expansions on copper pipes with an outer diameter of 1.5/8 inches (41.3 mm) and a thickness of up to 2 mm. Its construction from specially treated steel ensures wear resistance and durability even under intensive use conditions.

This accessory integrates seamlessly with Rothenberger expansion systems, ensuring secure and leak-proof connections in piping systems. The optimized geometry of the head allows for uniform expansions, reducing the risk of material deformation or breakage during processing. The ergonomic design facilitates the insertion and removal of the head from the main tool, speeding up diameter change operations during work.

Professional Applications

The 1.5/8x2mm expander head is used in numerous professional contexts, being particularly suitable for:

• Installation of industrial and commercial refrigeration systems
• Construction of large air conditioning systems
• Maintenance of refrigeration circuits
• Specialized plumbing installations
• Heating and cooling systems in industrial settings

Thanks to its precision, this component allows for perfect joints between large-diameter pipes, eliminating the need for additional fittings and reducing potential leakage points in the system. The ability to work on pipes with a thickness of up to 2 mm also makes it suitable for high-pressure applications, where the structural integrity of the connection is fundamental.

Technical Advantages

Using the Rothenberger 1.5/8x2mm expander head offers numerous operational benefits:

• Precise and uniform expansion of copper pipes
• Guaranteed compatibility with Rothenberger S-series expanders
• Reduced processing times due to ease of use
• Decreased risk of micro-fractures in the expanded material
• Longer lifespan compared to non-original heads
• Ability to create solderless connections, reducing risks associated with the brazing process

Technical Specifications

The Rothenberger 11362 head is characterized by well-defined technical parameters:

• Nominal diameter: 1.5/8 inches (41.3 mm)
• Maximum pipe thickness: 2 mm
• Material: special heat-treated steel
• Compatible series: type S
• Surface finish: anti-wear treatment
• Attachment system: quick-release with safety lock

The head is designed to ensure expansions that comply with international industry standards, ensuring that the connections made meet the safety and sealing requirements of current regulations. The special surface treatment increases friction resistance during the expansion operation, extending the tool's lifespan.

For optimal results, it is recommended to use this head with specific lubricants for copper processing, following the manufacturer's instructions. Regular maintenance, which includes cleaning after each use and periodic checking of the integrity of the expansion profiles, will help maintain performance over time, always ensuring precise and reliable expansions.
