Bead Rolling in NOCO

[Faded95]

Is there anyone in the Fort Collins/Northern Colorado area that has a bead roller? I need to put a bead on a few intercooler pipes that have a bad habit of blowing off!

Just flair the ends of the pipe out with vice grips

I get that flairing the ends out would work but I would prefer to put a bead in the tubing - I've seen the posts about a homemade bead roller made from vice grips and it may come to that but I was hoping someone up here had a bead roller.

After you put the coupler on you can't tell if there flared or rolled as long as it does its job it really shouldn't matter

Most shops should have a bead roller or be able to weld a bead around the end that will also work. or you could just weld the two pipes together and get rid of a coupler.
