Flaring Tool

Suitable for aluminum, soft copper, hard copper, steel, and thin-wall stainless steel pipes from 1/8" ~ 1". Creates 45° and 37° flares with an eccentric cone design.

Product Features
  • Multi-Material Application: Suitable for aluminum, soft copper, hard copper, steel, and thin-wall stainless steel pipes.
  • 45° / 37° Flaring: Creates different flare angles according to jobsite requirements.
  • Eccentric Cone Design: Produces rolling expansion with less operating effort.
  • Even Flare Formation: Creates smooth and uniform flares while reducing pipe wall scratches and deformation.
  • Automatic Free-Rotation Protection: Releases into free rotation after flaring is completed to prevent pipe damage.
  • Multi-Application Use: Ideal for air-conditioning, refrigeration, plumbing, automotive repair, and general piping work.

Product Details

Technical Data
Product Specifications
Eccentric cone flaring tool for aluminium, soft / hard copper, steel, and thin-wall stainless steel tubes. Designed for simple 45° or 37° flare forming with reduced risk of tube damage.
Applicable materials
Aluminium, soft copper, hard copper, steel, thin-wall stainless steel
Flaring angle
45° or 37° flare
Forming method
Eccentric cone rolling formation
Operation method
Turn the handle to advance downward
Protection design
Automatically releases and idles after completion to prevent tube damage
Flaring result
Uniform flare, even wall thickness, reduced surface damage
45° / 37° Eccentric Cone Flaring
The eccentric cone design creates a stable rolling action that forms a uniform flare with minimal effort. It helps keep tube wall thickness even and reduces surface damage. After forming is completed, the tool automatically releases and idles to reduce the risk of tube damage from overloading.
Features
Product Features
Designed for low-effort operation, dual-angle flare forming, tube wall protection, and uniform rolling formation in metal tube preparation work.
45° / 37° Dual-Angle Flaring
Supports 45° or 37° flare forming for different connection standards and installation requirements.
Eccentric Cone Design
Uses eccentric cone rolling action to create more uniform flares with less operating effort.
Multiple Metal Tube Materials
Suitable for aluminium, soft / hard copper, steel, and thin-wall stainless steel tubes.
Even Tube Wall, Less Surface Damage
Rolling formation distributes force evenly, helping reduce scratching, deformation, and uneven flare results.
Automatic Idle Protection
After forming is completed, the tool automatically releases and idles to help prevent continued force from damaging the tube.
Simple and Intuitive Operation
Simply turn the handle to advance downward and complete stable flare forming for field installation and repair work.
Applications
Applications
Suitable for 45° or 37° flare forming on aluminium, soft / hard copper, steel, and thin-wall stainless steel tubes, widely used in HVAC, refrigeration, hydraulic piping, and field installation work.
Air Conditioning Refrigerant Piping
Suitable for flare preparation on refrigerant copper tubes before connection work.
Refrigeration / HVAC Equipment
Suitable for flare forming on thin-wall metal tubes used in refrigeration equipment and HVAC systems.
Field Installation and Repair
Suitable for maintenance, modification, and on-site tube installation requiring fast and consistent tube-end flaring.
