Bead Tip – 100 Series – 104-042 | 0.25 TOD x .042 Wall

This Bead Tip rolls a uniform retaining bead into 1/4″ (0.250″ decimal) tubing, around 042 wall thickness, giving hose or sleeve connections a positive stop that resists blow-off under pressure. The bead profile is sized to match standard hose-clamp geometry, so parts come off the machine ready for assembly without secondary work. It is built for tube and pipe end-forming production where bead height and location need to stay consistent across large batches. It is part of the 100 series; compatible with 2C, 2CP, 2CPV, 3CPV tube end forming machines, and is a good fit for shops standardizing their tube end forming tooling.
