USING THE CFT TO MAKE A MANIFOLD FLANGE.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
When making a Manifold Flange, it is necessary to
first install the Pipe Flange or Clamp around the
Tube prior to finishing the ends.
CFT Tools are used for making Manifold Flanges quickly
and easily.
Not included in standard tooling packages.
Follow these steps to produce a Manifold Flange using
the optional CFT Tool. (See chart on page 12 for typical
end finishing illustrations.)
1. Retract the Swaging Cylinder completely by lifting the
Valve Handle up.
2. Install the appropriate CFT Tool on the ST-1 Adapter
attached to the end of the Cylinder Shaft.
3. Install the required HAC Adapter Collar around the
Tubing and position within the Swaging Clamp Blocks.
4. Leave ONLY 1-1/2” inches of Tubing extended beyond
the inside edge of the Adapter Collar. (See figure 3-F)
5. Snug the Collar back into the Clamp Blocks by gently
pushing back on the Collar Assembly.
6. Slowly, while pressing the Valve Handle down,
move the shaft forward until the Tool contacts the
Tubing. Be sure that the Tool is centered with the
Tubing.
7. Make the Manifold Flange by advancing the Tool
forward towards the Collar until the Cylinder stops.
Apply full pressure for this operation. (See figure 1-A)
8. Retract the Die by lifting up on the Control Handle.
9. Separate the Collar from the Tubing. Remove Tooling
and return to the storage area.
USING THE REDUCING TOOLS - Reducing Tools are
used for reducing or “shrinking” pipe ends to exact outside
diameters. Each Tool is marked with the appropriate size.
It is important to understand that the size marked on the
Tool will be the size that the Tubing wIll be reduced down
to. For example, a Tool marked 200 will reduce 2-1/4”
Tubing down to 2” O. D. and a Tool marked 214 will reduce
2-1/2” Tubing down to 2-1/4” O.D.
Not included in standard tooling packages.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Reducing Tools MUST be greased before use.
To properly reduce the Tube end using the optional
Reducing Tools follow these simple steps. See chart on
page 12 for typical end finishing illustrations.
1. Retract the Swaging Cylinder completely by lifting the
Valve Handle up.
2. Install the appropriate REDUCING TOOL on the ST-1
Adapter attached to the end of the Cylinder Shaft.
3. Install the required HAC Adapter Collar around the
Tubing and position within the Swaging Clamp Blocks.
4. Leave at least 3-1/2” of Tubing extended beyond the
inside edge of the Adapter Collar. (See figure 2-B)
5. Snug the Collar back into the Clamp Blocks by gently
pushing back on the Collar Assembly.
6. Slowly, while pressing the Swaging Valve Handle down,
move the shaft forward until the Tool contacts the
Tubing. Be sure that the Tool is centered with the
Tubing.
7. Make the Reduction by advancing the Tool forward
towards the Collar until the Tool bottoms out against
the Tubing end. Once the Tool stops, release the Valve
Handle. Do not apply full pressure for this operation.
