The manipulated tubes supplied by Albion Applications are intended for the connection of hydraulic components within wall-hung and floor boilers.

Tubes can be supplied according to client drawings or Albion Applications can prepare design drawings based on appliance and component requirements. There is a very wide selection of standard and bespoke terminal connections, including externally threaded bushes, union nuts, rapid-connection systems and O-ring connections. Tubes can be swaged and flanged and a number of other features can be incorporated into the tubes, such as disc-type thermostat mounting plates, pockets for thermostat & temperature gauge sensing bulbs, and drain and air vent tappings.
Controlled automated, semi-automated & manual processes, including bending, welding, brazing, machining & finishing, ensure product accuracy and quality. All tubes are guaranteed to be leak-free as a result of 100% pressure testing in the factory.
