2. Square off the ends of the tube with a file, and chamfer the end of the tube to be flared.
3. Select the split die for the tube to be used and insert the die into the tapered hole in the body.
4. Push the tube through the die until the tube is even with the face of the die. Lock the tube in this position by tightening the wing nut securely.
5. The punches are marked Op. 1 and Op. 2. Slide the first operation punch into the hole in the center of the body and tighten the screw securely to
form the single flare.
6. Release the screw and replace the first operation punch with the second operation punch and tighten the screw to form the double flare.
7. Release the screw, wing nut, punch, and dies.
8. Remove the tube and inspect the flare for cracks or poor flare form. If the flare is not correct, cut it off and repeat the process.
NOTE: The finished flare must be square with the tube, free of cracks and have a smooth mating surface to make sure the connection is
leak-proof.
