    Abstract: The method of manufacturing a fin-integrated tube for a heat exchanger includes step of disposing a rolling roller group including rolling rollers so as to surround the periphery of a tube, each of the roller crests of the rolling rollers being rounded at an end thereof into an R-shape, widths of the R-shaped ends being gradually increased from one axial end to the other axial end for each of the rolling rollers, and step of causing the roller crests to press the periphery of the tube from the one axial end to the other axial end by axially moving and rotating the rolling roller group relative to the tube so as to deform a part of the periphery of the tube into a spirally projecting portion while shaping it into a spiral fin by gradually squeezing the part of the periphery of the tube using the R-shaped end portions.
