Earl's 1/2" Ez-Beader Tubing Beader

Earl's patented new EZ (Roller) BEADER is a fresh approach to an old problem. In order to securely attach rubber water hose to rigid aluminum tubing, the end of the tubing must be beaded. Generations of racing mechanics have used military surplus Parker beading tools to do the job. We probably sold more of them than anyone. Unfortunately production ceased after WWII and the surplus kits have been scarce for over a decade. Compact enough to be used on already installed tubing, Earl's EZ-BEADER produces a properly positioned and perfectly radiused bead on aluminum tubing with wall thicknesses from . 035" to . 065". This is one tool that no serious racing mechanic can afford to be without. The Nylon braid of Pro-Lite hose is slipperier than a wire braid. To make it easier to hold the socket in its proper position on the hose while the nipple is threaded into it; we have developed a broaching tool for the minor I. D. of the socket. It is very easy to use and will simplify the overall assembly process.

Earl's Performance Products was founded by Earl Fouts in 1955 in Lawndale, California. The mission was to supply high-quality military aircraft surplus plumbing components directly to the racing industry from a small retail outlet. As the military surplus market dried up, Earl recognized the need for continuity of supply for the racing market and pioneered the Earl's range of hoses and fittings that are still used today. In doing so he created the racing aftermarket plumbing industry.
