The Double Flaring Tool kit makes professional, double flares for high-pressure tubing installations. Double flares are useful in a variety of applications, from automotive to refrigeration, to HVAC. In addition, double flares are preferred in situations where fittings are frequently disassembled and reconnected. The Double Flaring Tool kit makes seven single and double 45 degree flares. Housed in a convenient, fitted case for simple storage.

• Makes single and double flares in copper, aluminum, brass and other thin-wall tubing.
• Handles 3/16”, 1/4”, 5/16”, 3/8”, 7/16”, 1/2” and 5/8” tubing.
• Includes 7 double-flare inserts.
• Sizes are individually marked on bars.
• 45 degree cone makes smooth flares.
• Sliding T-handle provides added leverage.
• Extended bars for use in a vise.
• The forged steel yoke slips quickly over the bars without removing wing nuts.
• Heavy duty feed thread for added durability.
• Nickel-plated bars.

Instructions:
Before Flaring:
• Check that both the inner and outer pipe surfaces have been deburred.
• Oil the cone surface to reduce friction.
Creating a Single Flare:
1. Open bars and insert tubing into appropriate diameter hole.
2. Leave approximately 1/4” to 3/8” of the tubing exposed above the bars.
3. Tighten wing nuts.
4. Install the yoke over the tube.
5. Tighten down the yoke until the cone is centered over the tube.
6. Slowly turn the t-handle until the pipe is flared. DO NOT over tighten.
7. Check flare after removing from assembly.
Creating a Double Flare:
1. Open bars and insert tubing into appropriate diameter hole.
2. Leave approximately 1/4” to 3/8” of the tubing exposed above the bars.
3. Tighten wing nuts.
4. Place double-flare insert into tube
5. Install the yoke over the insert.
6. Tighten down the yoke until the cone is centered over the flare insert.
7. Slowly turn the t-handle until you feel resistance. DO NOT over tighten.
8. Loosen the yoke and remove the double-flare insert
9. Re-tighten the yoke into the pipe as you would for a normal flare.

FAQ’s
Q – How hard should I tighten the flaring tool?
A – It is better to slightly under-flare the pipe then to apply too much pressure. Over flaring the pipe can crack or damage the flare. As a rule, tighten the yoke with normal hand strength until you feel resistance. This usually will be enough for a proper flare.
