6.
Continue to tighten the flaring press until the end of the
tube is flared correctly Fig 2.
7.
Finally, loosen the flaring press,
remove it from the tubing vice then loosen the
two wing nuts on the vice and remove the tube.
Single Male flare.
The Laser Flaring Tool Kit can be used to make a single 45°
male flare by using the flaring dies.
1.
First, loosen the two wing nuts on the tubing vice
and place the tubing through the correct size hole
in the vice. Make sure the cut end of tube
extends through the hole up to the shoulder of the
appropriate flaring die when placed on top of the
vice - Fig 3
2.
Now tighten the two wing nuts securely so
that the tubing will not slip during flaring.
Tighten the wing nut closest to the tubing
first, then the second wing nut.
3.
Select the correct flaring die for the tubing
and insert the shaft of the die into the cut end
of the tube.
4.
Put a drop of oil on the shaft of the die
before inserting it into the tube. This will help
the flare to be formed more easily and successfully
5.
Next, place the flaring press over the tubing
vice. You will need to turn the T-bar of the
press anti-clockwise until the yoke will slip
over the tubing vice.
6.
Then locate the flaring cone of the press in the
depression in the centre of the flaring die,
holding it in place with your thumb and fore
finger, and turn the T-bar clockwise until the
press is secure.
7.
Turn the T-bar to force the flaring
cone down until the flaring die rests
flat on the tubing vice – Fig 4.
The first part of the double flare has
now been formed – Fig 5
8.
Loosen the flaring press by turning
the T-bar anti-clockwise until you can
remove the flaring die from the tube.
Double Flare (Using both Male and Female methods)
Follow steps 1 – 8 for a Single Male Flare and continue as
follows:
9.
Now locate the flaring cone of the press in the
flared end of the tube and retighten the press.
This will force the bell shaped first flare back
into the top of the tube to complete the double
flare Fig 6
