Eccentric Flaring Tools
Overview of Eccentric Flaring Tools
Eccentric flaring tools are precision devices designed for creating flared connections in tubing, primarily used in HVAC and plumbing applications. These tools employ an eccentric cone mechanism that delivers a rolling action, resulting in uniform flare walls while preventing damage to the tubing.
Key Features of Eccentric Flaring Tools
- Design and Construction:
- Equipped with a hardened steel cone for exceptional durability and precise performance.
- Some models, such as the Yellow Jacket, feature heat-treated steel with a black oxide finish for added strength and longevity.
- Lightweight construction, often made from aluminum, enhances portability and ease of handling.
- Size Compatibility:
- Supports a range of tubing sizes, commonly including 1/4″, 3/8″, 1/2″, 5/8″, and 3/4″.
- Certain models accommodate tubing from 3/16″ to 3/4″ O.D., making them versatile for different systems and applications.
- Ease of Use:
- Large feed screw handles ensure smooth operation with minimal effort, even when working with tough materials like copper or aluminum.
- Built-in clutch release prevents over-torquing, safeguarding the tubing from damage during the flaring process.
Applications of Eccentric Flaring Tools
- HVAC Systems: Ideal for creating secure connections in refrigeration and air conditioning tubing.
- Plumbing: Ensures leak-proof fittings in water and gas lines.
- Repairs and Installations: Suitable for both routine maintenance and new system setups requiring flared connections.
- Versatile Usage: Handles various tubing materials, including copper and aluminum, for diverse projects.
