Instructions
DELUXE 45° FLARING TOOL
- Designed with the new R-410A system requirements in mind
- Self-centering yoke grips without marring or constricting tube
- Automatic tube height gauge for correct tubing height
- Multi-faceted burnishing cone produces a burnished flare seat for a positive seal
- Easy-to-use with four basic steps
- Made in the USA
Note: To improve grip on copper, all moving parts including the wing nut threads, wing nut mating threads and feed screw threads must be oiled regularly. Failure to do so may result in tubing slippage, undersize flares and damage to the tool.
- With cone up, open the two dies of the clamping yoke
- Select sizes on undersideof dies to match tubing O.D.
- Insert tubing until it touches the height gauge
- Turn the feed screw to flare the tubing

R-410A Flare Diameters
- Installation instructions for systems using R-410A vary between manufacturers with respect to 45˚ flares. Some require the larger flares produced by the Deluxe 45˚ Flaring Tool (60278) while others prefer the rolled flare produced by the eccentric cone flaring tool
- Instead of the standard 1/4″ (7/16-20 thread, 1/4″ O.D.) fitting for air conditioning systems, some manufacturers are moving to 5/16″ (1/2-20 thread, 5/16″ O.D.) to differentiate fittings and avoid misconnections. These fittings can often be found on mini split systems

5/8″| 0.748″| 0.776″
3/4″| 0.917″| 0.945″
- These tube sizes are not used by some R-410A equipment manufacturers. The Deluxe Flaring Tool 60278 adopts the SAE standard for these sizes.
ECCENTRIC CONE FLARING TOOL WITH FLARE SIZING GAUGE
Off-center hardened steel cone with 45° flare produces a rolling action for uniform flare walls without galling in 3/16″ to 3/4″ O.D. tubing.
- Large feed screw handle for smooth turning with little effort
- Black oxide-finished steel flaring bars are heat-treated for durability and secure grip on tubing
- Recommended for soft materials such as copper and aluminum
- Built-in clutch release to prevent over-torquing
