Step 3: Flare pipe ends
Proper fl aring is essential to achieve an airtight seal.
1. After removing burrs from the cut pipe, seal the ends with PVC tape to prevent foreign materials from
entering the pipe.
2. Sheath the pipe with insulating material.
3. Place fl are nuts on both ends of the pipe. Make sure they are facing in the right direction as they cannot
be removed or adjusted after fl aring.
4. Remove the PVC tape from the ends of the pipe when ready to perform fl aring work.
5. Clamp fl are form on the end of the pipe. The end of the pipe must extend beyond the edge of the fl are
form in accordance with the dimensions shown in the table and image below.
6. Place fl aring tool onto the form.
7. Turn the handle of the fl aring tool clockwise until the pipe is fully fl ared.
8. Remove the fl aring tool and fl are form and then inspect the end of the pipe for cracks and even fl aring.
