Has anyone access to a copy of BS 864-2 which defines the specs for various copper pipe fittings?
I want to see the spec for "Type B Manipulative Fittings" which are flared fittings to you and me and am particularly interested in the
AWEM
At a guess,each manufacturer would have there own specs for manipulativ
fittings and would make a form tool to match.
For underground fittings it used to be a a shaped drift and a hammer,s probably isn't that critical because the copper will deform to match th olive or fitting.
There also used to be a pipe fitting where a bead was formed round th wall of the pipe,that did need a particular tool to form the bead.Oka if you remembered to put the nut on first.
