Assembly and Operation Your 7-Piece Tube Flaring Kit will require some light assembly prior to use. It is important that you read the entire manual to become familiar with the Tube Flaring Kit BEFORE you use the Tube Flaring Kit. Before assembling and using the 7-Piece Tube Flaring Kit be sure that you have all parts described in the Parts List and Assembly Diagram located on the last pages of this manual. Note: Tools in this Kit can be used with the following materials: lightweight steel, copper and aluminum tubing. Tube Benders Use the Tube Benders to reduce the risk of stretching and flattening a tube that is to be bent. Always wear ANSI approved safety glasses and a full face shield to protect yourself from injury. 1. Locate the tubing that you wish to bend. Remember that the longer the piece of tubing; the easier it is to bend. The larger the diameter, the longer the excess length should be. Allow an extra 12” on each end of tubing up to 3/4” in diameter. Figure A Tube Benders 4,5,6,7 2. Select the appropriate Tube Bender (4,5,6,7). The Tube Benders come in four different sizes, 1/4” (4), 5/16” (5), 3/8” (6) and 1/2” (7). Slide the Tube Bender (4,5,6,7) over the portion of the tube that is to be bent-see Figure A. 3. Use a large vise that is firmly clamped to a bench or table to clamp the tube in the Tube Bender (4,5,6,7). You may wish to form a jig to bend the tube around. Clamp the jig in the vise. Grab the tubing at each end and apply pressure. Note: The larger the object over which you are bending the tube, the less chance of flattening the tube where it is bent. SKU 5969 For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353. Page Using the Tubing Cutter 1. Tighten the tubing that you wish to cut in a vise. If needed, measure and mark the tubing before cutting. Make certain that the vise used is firmly anchored to a worktable or bench. It must be able to support the weight of the tubing, along with the pressure that will be applied in the following steps. Do not exceed the 1-1/4” tube cutting capacity. 2. Turn the Knob (1) on the Tubing Cutter counterclockwise until the Cutter Wheel (2) and Blade (3) can be placed over the tube you wish to cut. 3. Turn the Knob (1) clockwise until the Blade (3) begins to cut into the tube. Check to make certain that the cut will be square. 4. Spin the Tubing Cutter around the tubing while turning the Knob (1) counterclockwise and bringing the blade tighter against the tubing. Continue to do this, making sure that the cut is straight along the desired cutting line - see Figure 1. Figure 1 5. Once the tube has been fully cut, use the Deburrer (8) to remove any burrs and smooth out the edge of the tube. Deburrer (8) Flaring Kit 1. 2. 3. 4. Slide the Flare Nut (9) onto the tubesee Figure 2. Turn the Die Handle (10) and open the Flaring Tool. Insert the end of the tube into the hole which corresponds to the tube size. The die has six sizes: 3/16”, 1/4”, 5/16”, 3/8”, 1/2”, and 5/8”. The amount the tubing extends above the Die Block (13) will be the finished diameter of the flare. Make certain that the flare is seated properly against the fitting and that the Flare Nut (9) will fit over it. Tighten the Die Handle (10) to lock the tubing in place. Set the Flaring Tool (12) on the tubing and turn it so that it is secure against the Die Block (13). Turn Flaring Handle (11) until the desired flare is achieved.
