A spacer for aligning a series of tubes comprises a first side having a plurality of adjacently positioned recesses and an extended portion projecting the adjacent recesses. The spacer also comprises a second side having a plurality of adjacently positioned recesses and a projection between the adjacent recesses. The first side and the second side are oppositely aligned around a series of tubes such that each tube is positioned between a recess of the first side and a recess of the second side and the extended portion of the first side extends near the projection of the second side for defining a weld area. A weld is also provided at the weld area for fixing the extended portion of the first side to the projection of the second side.
