Double Flaring
1. This tool is used to create a double 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.
4. Place the same sized Flaring Adapter on surface
of Flaring Bar next to tubing, flat side down.
5. Adjust height of tubing so end of tubing aligns
with step on Flaring Adapter. See Figure A.
6. Hand tighten wing nuts, starting with wing nut closest
to tubing, until tubing cannot slip from Flaring Bar.
7. Insert stem of Flaring Adapter into end of tubing.
8. Position Flaring Yoke over Flaring Bar
so Cone enters depression in end of
Flaring Adapter. See Figure B.
9. Turn handle of Flaring Yoke to force cone down
until Flaring Adapter rests flat against Flaring Bar.
10. Back off the Yoke and remove Flaring Adapter.
11. Reposition Flaring Cone over tubing and screw the
Yoke down on tubing until tubing folds back on itself,
forming a 45 degree double flare. See Figure C.
12. Loosen the Yoke, and the wing nuts. Remove
the Yoke and Flaring Bar from the tube.
