INTRODUCTION & SPECIFICATIONS

Produces accurate automotive SAE and DIN flares on 3/16” and 4.75mm pipes respectively. Small body makes it ideal for splicing in replacement sections of brake pipe on-vehicle. Features a hydraulic ram which also makes it suitable for steel pipes.

Part: Description
Dies: 3/16” SAE, 4.75mm DIN.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING! Before using the flaring kit, ensure that you ` have read and understood the Safety Instructions in Section 1.

The pipe end to be flared must be cut clean, square and be de-burred. Use a pipe or tube cutter (available from your Sealy dealer).

Select the clamp block. For SAE male and female flares (fig.3 A & B above) use the SAE marked side of the blocks (fig.1) and SAE marked dies. For a DIN flare (fig.3 C above) select the DIN side of the block and the DIN die.

Lay the pipe on the block, place the other half of the block on top of the pipe and insert into tool as fig.2. Ensure that the pipe is just inside the end of the block, clamp the assembly in place using lock bolt (fig.2).

To form a Bubble (Male) flare SAE (fig.3.A). First select the concave SAE die (fig.4) and insert it into the locking collar on the ram (fig.5). Ensure the T-bar is fully unwound (anticlockwise).

Adjust the lock plate (fig.5) half way along the thread and insert the ram into the main tool body (fig.6).

Swivel the locking plate into position (fig.7) and tighten the ram body ensuring the die tip locates in the pipe (fig.8).

Rotate the T-bar clockwise forcing the die into the pipe (fig.9). Continue to turn until the resistance significantly increases, undo the T-bar a couple of turns and remove the ram assembly from the main body.

Remove the block and pipe from the main body (unless you wish to make a double flare (fig.3B)) and separate the block from the pipe, check that the flare has no cracks and is symmetrically formed.

To form a Double (Female) flare SAE (fig.3.B).

Leave the pipe in the block after completing the bubble flare.

Change the die to the SAE convex die (fig.10).

This will fold the top section of the bubble flare inwards to form a double flare (fig.3.B).

Follow the same procedure as described in 3.4 to 3.4.4.
Again, check that the flare is symmetrically formed.

To form a Single Flare DIN (fig.3C).

Follow the procedures laid out in 3.4 to 3.4.4, only this time select the DIN side of the block (fig.1) and the DIN concave die.

Adaptor Driver (fig.11).

For jobs where restricted space makes use of the hydraulic ram difficult, use the 23mm adaptor driver in place of the ram.

• WARNING! The safe operation of a vehicle, or other equipment, may well depend on the quality of the flare produced. Discard any flare which is misfired or cracked in any way
