Abstract
A tool and method for installing a flexible tube between two or more glass encapsulated reed switches of a multi-capsule reed relay switching assembly. The tool is formed from a steel wire in a wedge shaped structure, adapted to compress when the tubing is fitted over it, exerting pressure against the inside wall of the tubing and narrowing the tubing into an egg-shaped configuration. This allows the insertion of the tubing between the reed capsules with a minimum of interference.
