7. Loosen the flaring press and remove it from the tubing vise. Loosen the two wing nuts on the vise and
remove the tubing.
SINGLE MALE FLARE
The double flaring tool kit has flaring dies to create a single 45° male flare.
NOTE:
The flaring die sizes are embossed on the dies and on the tubing vise. Please make sure that you use the
appropriate die and vise clamping position for the tube you wish to flare.
1. Loosen the two wing nuts on the tubing vise.
2. Place the metal tubing through the correct size hole in the tubing vise, making sure that the cut end of the
tube protrudes slightly above the top of the countersink on the vise.
3. 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 other wing nut.
4. Select the correct flaring die for the tubing and insert the shaft of the die into the cut end of the tube.
5. Place the flaring press over the tubing vise. Turn the T-bar of the flaring press counter clockwise to provide
enough space to allow the yoke to slip over the tubing vise. The bottom of the tubing vise should fit in the
bottom of the yoke.
6. Position the cone head into the depression at the center of the flaring die. Holding it in place with a thumb
and forefinger, tighten the flaring press by turning the T-bar clockwise until the flaring press is secure.
NOTE:
Put a drop of oil on the flaring cone before inserting it into the tubing. This will make it easier to
form the flare.
8. Turn the T-bar to force the flaring cone down until the flaring die rests flat on the tubing vise (Fig. 4).
