The Earl's beader doesn't work at all on stainless. The better solution is to weld a bead around the tube 1/2" in from the ends. As an alternative, you can drill four holes 90 degrees to each other and 1/2" and screw in four round head ss sheet metal screws #8-3/8" works well. Insert the tube in the rubber hose and ensure the clamp is past the screw heads. It will not come off.
