Abstract
A jig for use in manufacturing header assemblies from pipe and tubing. The jig assures the proper orientation and alignment of components during fit up and joining of component parts into a complete header assembly. In addition, the jig is configured to direct a flow of a purge gas that blankets the interior surfaces of the header assembly during a joining process such as soldering, brazing or welding and thus prevents oxidation of those surfaces.
