Pexto 3 ft 22 ga Roller plays a role fabricating a Radius Elbow
The 3 ft manual roller is a staple in every duct shop. One of the many functions it’s used for is turning a curve on a flat piece of metal with female Pittsburgh Seams already installed on both sides. Because the Upper roll can adjust vertically, it can turn a curve on a piece of sheet metal without compressing the Seam on either side.
Putting a curve on the Heel on Pexto 381 Roller for a Radius Elbow—female seams on each side already
Once formed from flat to a radius, this part of a Radius Elbow is referred to as the "Wrap". When the Female Seams of each side of the Wrap are connected with the Male Flange on the Cheek, the Wrap becomes the Heel of the Radius Elbow.
