About Us

Necessity being the mother of invention I guess is the
reason
Tru-Fit Alignment Solutions, Inc. was created. I have been
involved in the metal tube bending and fabricating industry since 1968.
In 1971 I started my own business in the state of Michigan.
In 1977 I returned to the state of Virginia and in 1978
formed
Tri-Tube, Inc. We fabricate tubing both ferrous and non
ferrous metals. Some require fittings and some don't. We
supply fabricated tubes to the refrigeration compressor industry,
outdoor barbeque grill industry, water heater industry, and
others. Our involvement in a fit-up situation requiring
flexibility, rigidity, and a stress free connection, led to
the creation of the Tru-Fit style of fittings. The fittings
have been in test on an automated hydraulic tube bender
since the prototyping stage in May of 2004. The pressure has
been a constant 1000 psig. The fittings, both flare and
ferule type, are involved in the test, and are shown in the
picture above. The ferrule is made of nylon and the
fittings and tube are steel. Art Porter
