Bubble Flaring
1. This tool is used to create a bubble flared end on
Copper, Aluminum, Soft Steel, and Brass tubing.
2. Straighten tubing as much as possible, and then
be sure to make a clean cut straight across the
tube to avoid a crooked flare. Deburr inner and
outer edges. The tube cannot be crushed.
3. Insert tubing into correct sized hole on Flaring Bar
until tubing is flush with top of bar. See Figure D.
NOTICE:
To prevent equipment damage, do not attempt
to form a bubble flare using tampered holes in clamping
bar. Only use countersunk holes for bubble flares.
4. Hand tighten wing nuts, starting with
wing nut closest to tubing, until tubing
cannot slip through clamping bar.
5. Remove cone from Yoke. Thread correct sized
bubble flaring adapter into onto Yoke screw.
6. Position Yoke over Flaring Bar so
stem of adapter enters tubing.
7. Turn handle of Yoke to force adapter down until
adapter rests flat against clamping assembly.
8. Back off the Yoke and remove the Adapter.
9. Loosen the Yoke, and the wing nuts. Remove
the Yoke and Flaring Bar from the tube.
