Moeller Flanging Tool

[jimh]

Flanging tools made by Moeller Marine are often mentioned as being used in the replacement of through-hull or through-transom drains on classic-era Boston Whaler boats that use thin-wall brass tubes for the drain pipe. The brass tubing is usually 1.00 or 1.25-inch outside diameter, varying with model and location.

The Moeller Flanging Tool, part number 020700-00 is designed to form flanges onto 1-inch-OD tubing:
