UHMW, 3/4 inch diameter stretch to 7/8 (22 mm) inch diameter?

Apr 02, 2012 4 Replies

How about using a heat gun? Will a short 1/4 inch piece of 3/4 inch inner diameter UHMW tubing stretch to nearly 7/8 inches?



Thanks.


I would like to press a slice of UHMW tubing over a 22 mm outer diameter bearing. Unfortunately McMaster Carr does not have 7/8 inner diameter tubing, they go from 3/4 to 1.

How about drilling out a 3/4 id to 7/8? Or using a round file?
