Tube Preparation

  1. Cut the tube, this can be done with a tube cutter (with the correct blades) or a hacksaw and guide to ensure a square cut (hacksaw should have at least 32 teeth per inch, this helps avoid burns)
  2. Tube must be deburred correctly on both the OD and ID to get a good seal and prevent particles getting into the SBT system medium
  3. Clean tube and inspect - there should be no marks or damage on the surface of the tubing.
