Kell-Strom PWC32366 Pusher Tube

The Kell-Strom PWC32366 pusher tube helps technicians route or secure small-diameter lines, such as fuel, brake, or transfer tubes, during aircraft engine or airframe work. It assists technicians in positioning tubing inside tight assemblies while minimizing the risk of damage or misalignment.

Yes. The pusher works on two tubes simultaneously, which helps speed up maintenance tasks when multiple parallel lines require alignment or securing. This feature can reduce tool changeovers and improve workflow in cramped engine or airframe bays.

Given its thin profile and precision ends, the PWC32366 should be stored in a protective sleeve or tooling drawer to prevent bending, scratching, or deformation of its alignment features. Secure clamping or mounting in a tool rack helps prevent incidental damage in a busy maintenance shop. Ensuring it is clean of debris also helps preserve its tube-seating surfaces.

The pusher is intended for securing small tubes such as fuel or brake lines and is generally compatible with standard metallic aircraft tubing materials. However, care should be taken with softer materials (e.g., aluminum or thin-wall tubing) to avoid overstressing or deforming them. Using proper technique and light force is essential when pushing sensitive tubing.

Common wear points include abrasion or surface wear on the tube-contacting surfaces, deformation or bending from misuse, and damage to coupling or alignment edges. Over time, repeated pushing of rigid tubes may dull edges or misalign the tool’s geometry. Regular inspection and replacement when signs of wear appear helps preserve precision and avoid damage to the tubing being worked.
