Default field expedient tube bead

Dev Null sezz:
I have a widget that has some tubes coming out. Tubes are hard
copper ~1/2-inch O.D. actual. I want to attach plastic tubing
to the copper tubes. I would like to create beads in the
copper tube. Copper tube can not be removed from widget.

Can anyone suggest a method to create a bead or an
alternative?


If you are putting a bead on it to use as a roadblock for a
clamp or similar - why not just flare the end of the tubing?

I think this will make it difficult to install the plastic tubing.
