Tube Bending For All Types of Radiators

Tube bending for radiators & boiler systems

When talking about radiators, you have to understand there are a lot more than just the ones you will find in your car or truck. Though automotive radiators are what come to mind first, there are other types that are part of heating systems. Sometimes known as a boiler system, these systems use hot water to heat homes, businesses, schools and many other facilities. When it comes to a boiler system they are either steam or hot water.

For example, older homes will usually have radiators that most likely uses the hot water version. This is because most steam versions were phased out in the 1930s. So you may be wondering how exactly does this work? The water is heated in a heat exchanger inside the boiler. From the boiler, the water is transferred to the radiator that will be made of a good heat conductor to produce the heat. In addition, the water is then transported back to the boiler to be heated again.

Bending Metal for Radiators, Boiler Systems and More

Of course with an in-home or business boiler system, you are going to need bent tubing. To route the water throughout the building special bends will be needed. Also, for these types of tubes you want to use materials that are rust-resistant. The metals these tubes are made from are; stainless steel, copper, bronze, brass, or galvanized steel.  The good news is at Detroit Tube Products we work with all those materials.
