INSTRUCTIONS FOR BAR-TYPE FLARING TOOLS WITH SLIP-ON YOKE
• Flares 3/16", 1/4", 5/16", 3/8", 7/16", 1/2" and 5/8" O.D. tubing.
• For soft tubing only – copper, aluminum, brass and steel.
• Rugged forged steel slip-on yoke and hardened flaring bar.
• Positive clamping action of bar prevents tube slippage.
• Self centering yoke with swivel-type, hardened steel, chrome-finish
flaring cone forms better flares with less effort.
• Design of yoke permits flaring where there is little space between nut
and tube end.
1. Before flaring, be sure that the tubing is cut off squarely, and cut-off
burrs are completely removed.
2. Slip a flare nut onto the tubing. (Flare nut is not supplied with kit.)
3. Loosen the wing nuts, which will permit the separation of the two
halves of the bar.
4. 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 flaring (i.e. on 1/2" O.D. tubing,
tubing should protrude 5/8" above the face of the bar.). (See Fig.1).
5. 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.
6. Place the yoke over the bar of the tool so that the cone is over the
tubing. Note that the yoke of this tool is the slip-on type that can be
slipped directly over the bar without twisting or turning. (See Fig.1).
The inside edges of the yoke are slotted so that once in position, a
slight turn clockwise holds it in place. Yoke should be held in position
by the thumb and forefinger. (See Fig. 2).
7. Turn the feed screw down firmly. The result will be an accurate
45° flare.
NOTE: Oil feed screw and all moving parts with petroleum lubricating
grease or equivalent, to prolong life, reduce operation effort, and as-
sure reliable results. Keep flaring bar hole grooves free of dirt and oil.
