• Flares and swages 1/8" to 3/4" O.D. tubing.
• Screw-type feed.
• Two bars included cover 9 sizes.
• Self-centering, slip-on forged steel yoke.
• Swivel-type swaging adapters and flaring cone are hardened steel chrome-
finished for easy operation.
• For soft tubing only – copper, aluminum, brass and steel.
FOR SWAGING
Before beginning, be sure the tubing is cut off squarely and cut-off burrs are
removed.
1. Loosen the wing nuts which will permit the separation of the two halves of the bar.
2. Insert the tubing into the bar hole of the corresponding size, allowing tubing to
protrude above the face of the tool approximately 1/8" more than the diameter of
the tube you are swaging (i.e., on 1⁄2" O.D. tubing, tubing should protrude 5/8"
above face of the bar).
3. Tighten the wing nuts. It is a good practice to tighten the wing nut nearest to the
tube first. The wings on the nuts are of a special shape that permits using the rod
of the yoke as a lever in tightening. Nuts must be securely tightened so there is no
chance of the tube slipping.
4. Select the proper size swaging spreader and screw it on to the feed screw. Place
a drop of oil on the spreader. Note that the small spreader (see “A” Fig.1) is used
for 3/16", 1⁄4" and 3/8" O.D. tubing. Separate spreaders are included for 7/16",
1/2", 5/8" and 3/4" O.D. tubing.
5. Slip the yoke over the bar and turn in a clockwise direction so that it hooks
on the bar (Fig. 2).
6. Screw the spreader into the tube until the chamfer on the upper shoulder of the
spreader is bearing on the tube.
7. Hold the yoke so it will not twist off the bar and unscrew the spreader from the
tube (Fig. 3). The result will be a clean, accurate swage.
FOR FLARING
1. Attach the flaring cone to the feed screw.
2. Repeat swaging steps 1-3.
3. Slip the yoke over the bar and turn in a clockwise direction so that it hooks
on the bar.
4. Screw the flaring cone into the tube until it forms the proper shape.
5. Hold the yoke so it will not twist off the bar and unscrew the spreader from
the tube (Fig. 3). The result will be a clean, accurate flare.
IMPORTANT-
Lubricate the feed screw with petroleum lubricating grease
or equivalent to prolong tool life, reduce operating effort and assure
reliable results.
