Introducing Tuff Tube Transition's Tuff Tube Header Connection (TTHC)
(Tuff Tube Header Connection – TTHC)
US Patent and International Patent Pending
After years of development, Tuff Tube Transition has revolutionized the tube repair
process. Our cutting-edge technology addresses the root cause of most tube failures: the heat-
affected zone (HAZ) at the tube-to-header weld. Traditional repairs involve welding thin-walled
tubes to thick-walled headers, resulting in a massive thermal fatigue difference. This leads to
the tube pulling away from the header over time, especially at the weaker HAZ. Tuff Tube Transition significantly reduces this thermal fatigue gap, providing a stronger, more secure, and safer connection. Unlike traditional repairs, which require removing and replacing sections of tube and relying on imperfect purging, our solution eliminates the need for
butt welds and purging entirely. This not only ensures no oxidation occurs, but also drastically cuts down on repair time.
