Imperial 537-F flaring tool is a handheld tool suitable to create precision flares on the ends of metal tubing such as steel, aluminum, copper and stainless steel. These flares are crucial for forming leak-proof connections by creating a tight, secure seal between pipes and fittings in various applications, such as air conditioning, refrigeration and hydraulic systems. This flaring tool is used for the automotive and HVAC industries.
Working Mechanism:
- Before use, ensure the tube end is clean, smooth and free of burrs or imperfections.
- Insert the prepared tube end into the appropriate slot or holder on the flaring tool.
- Securely clamp the tube in place using the tool's clamping mechanism.
- The tool features a flaring cone positioned at the end of a handle or spindle, with a precise angle, often 37 degrees.
- Turn the flaring cone handle or spindle, pressing the flaring cone into the tube end to gradually form the flare.
- Some tools allow you to adjust the flare height by repositioning the tube within the slot before initiating the flaring process.
- Once the desired flare is achieved, stop turning the flaring cone handle.
- Inspect the flare for quality and specifications, checking for imperfections or irregularities.
Features:
- It features three cylinders in the flaring cone that roll out a precise 37-degree flare above the die block.
- This flaring tool comes with a roller action mechanism that minimises the effort required while ensuring the maintenance of the original wall thickness of the material and eliminating stress concentration.
- It features a stylish satin chrome and black finish, combining durability with aesthetics.
- This flaring tool is equipped with a feed release and burnishing action, enhances ease of use and efficiency in creating flares.
- It has a steel body for structural rigidity and long-lasting durability in demanding technical applications.
