- Contents: 3/16” SAE
OPERATION
- WARNING! Ensure you are familiar with the various types of flare before using this equipment.
- WARNING! Before using the flaring kit, ensure that you have read and understood the ‘Safety Instructions’ in Section 1.
PREPARATION OF THE BRAKE PIPE
The end of the pipe must be cut square.
The outside edge of the pipe must be chamfered to approximately 0.25mm x 45º.
IMPORTANT: If the pipe is plastic covered, this must be cut back for 6mm from the end of the pipe to be flared. Ensure the pipe is not scored or any metal removed during this operation. DO NOT use an abrasive cloth.
IMPORTANT: If the pipe is painted it is recommended that the paint be removed for the length of the die by a chemical paint remover, not an abrasive cloth. Observe all manufacturers’ precautions when using chemical paint remover. Finally remove any grease present. These two operations will improve the die jaw grip whilst flaring.
CREATION OF 3/16” SAE SINGLE FLARE
Use the SAE tool, stop and double ended punch as shown in **fig.1.
**
The stop must be screwed into the tool to within 5mm of the hexagon.
Slide the tool onto pipe.
Tighten the locking screws by hand, just enough to grip the pipe.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT over tighten at this stage or the stop will damage the pipe.
Screw the stop into the tool until fully tightened. (A 16mm ratchet spanner is recommended, but not included.)
Tighten the locking screws fully to clamp the pipe. (A 10mm ratchet spanner is
recommended, but not included.)
IMPORTANT: If the locking screws are not tight enough then the pipe will
push back during the flare process and will not produce the correct flare.
Undo and remove the stop.
Insert the OP1 end punch and tighten fully up to the hexagon in order to form the flare.
Unscrew the punch. The single flare is now complete.
Undo the locking screws and remove the tool from the pipe.
CREATION OF 3/16” SAE DOUBLE FLARE
Firstly follow steps 4.2.1 to 4.2.10. to form a single flare.
Reverse the punch and insert the OP2 end into the tool and fully tighten up to the hexagon in order to form the flare.
Unscrew the punch.
Undo the locking screws and remove the tool from the pipe. The double flare is
now complete.
Note: A spot of grease on the end of the punch helps the flare process.
