Adding a piece on is not desirable unless you are super at copper welding. You could use a larger tube and close the heating tube section up. However annealled copper of this thickness would be easy enough to bend over a wooden round former or any tube the right size for the inside of the boiler. Hope this helps. Regards Nick.
