July 21, 2025
đź”§ How to Choose the Right DLT Tool Kit for Your Tube Size

Introduction

Selecting the correct Permaswage® DLT Tool Kit is crucial for ensuring a safe, reliable, and leak-proof connection. Whether you're performing in-field repairs or outfitting an entire production line, using the wrong kit can damage your fittings—or worse, compromise aircraft system performance.

At Top Flight Tools, we help customers choose confidently by breaking down kit options by tube size and system pressure. In this post, you'll learn how to quickly identify the right DLT kit using official specs.

🧰 What’s in a DLT Tool Kit?

Each kit typically includes:

  • A swage head assembly

  • Marking templates and inspection gauges

  • Die sets for specific tube sizes

  • Tube cutter and deburring tools

  • Hydraulic power unit (manual or pneumatic)

These kits are engineered to work with Permaswage® fittings for tubing from 3/16" to 1-1/2" O.D. and are rated up to 3,000 psi.

✅ Top Flight Tools stocks both new surplus and used kits—with full inspection, fast shipping, and a 90-day warranty on all used tooling.

🔍 What If You Need a Multi-Size Kit? No problem. The manual also outlines combo kits for broader size ranges. For example:

DLTFRPSKT3001 covers sizes -04 through -12

DLT40PSKT3000 handles -16 through -24

đź’ˇ Tip: Use a combo kit if you work across aircraft platforms or repair stations where tube size varies.
