Double Flaring

1. This tool is used to create a double flared end on Copper, Aluminum, Soft Steel, and Brass tubing.
2. Straighten tubing as much as possible, and then be sure to make a clean cut straight across the tube to avoid a crooked flare. Deburr inner and outer edges. The tube cannot be crushed.
3. Insert tubing into the correct sized hole on Flaring Bar.
4. Place the same sized Flaring Adapter on the surface of the Flaring Bar next to tubing, flat side down.
5. Adjust the height of tubing so the end of tubing aligns with the step on Flaring Adapter. See Figure A.
6. Hand tightens wing nuts, starting with wing nut closest to tubing until tubing cannot slip from Flaring Bar.
7. Insert the stem of the Flaring Adapter into the end of the tubing.
8. Position Flaring Yoke over Flaring Bar so Cone enters depression in end of Flaring Adapter. See Figure B.
9. Turn the handle of Flaring Yoke to force cone down until Flaring Adapter rests flat against Flaring Bar.
10. Back off the Yoke and remove Flaring Adapter.
11. Reposition Flaring Cone over the tubing and screw the Yoke down on tubing until tubing folds back on itself, forming a 45-degree double flare. See Figure C.
12. Loosen the Yoke and the wing nuts. Remove the Yoke and Flaring Bar from the tube.

Bubble Flaring

3. Insert tubing into the correct sized hole on Flaring Bar until the tubing is flush with the top of the bar. See Figure D. NOTICE: To prevent equipment damage, do not attempt to form a bubble flare using tampered holes in the clamping bar. Only use countersunk holes for bubble flares.
