The tube flaring tool is an essential tool used in plumbing, HVAC and automotive work to perform precision flaring on tubes.
This type of tool allows you to expand the mouth of the tubes, generating a widening at the end that facilitates connection and sealing with other components, without the need for welding.
It is especially useful for creating SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) type flares, which are standard in refrigeration and air conditioning systems, as well as DIN (Deutsches Institut für Normung) flares, which are common in brake and fuel systems.
Additionally, many modern flaring devices allow for double flaring, which adds an additional layer of strength and sealing to connections, crucial in high-pressure systems.
The use of this tool ensures secure and long-lasting connections, reducing the risk of leaks and improving the integrity of the system in which it is applied.

Recommendations for use:
Make sure the tube is clean and free of any debris before flaring to ensure a proper seal.
Use the flaring tool in a clean, well-lit environment to avoid errors and ensure visibility of the work.
Select the appropriate die size for the diameter of the tube being flared, making sure it is properly aligned to prevent warping.
Apply a light coat of lubricant to the end of the tube before flaring to facilitate the process and reduce tool wear.
Always perform a visual inspection of the flaring once completed, verifying that there are no cracks or deformations that could compromise the connection.

Maintenance recommendations:
Clean the tool after each use to remove any material residue that may affect its operation.
Periodically lubricate the moving parts of the flaring tool to ensure smooth movement and prolong tool life.
Store the flaring tool in a dry, protected location, avoiding exposure to moisture and other factors that may cause corrosion or damage to its components.
