Why You Need a Dedicated Flaring Tool

A bad flare means a bad seal, and in custom automotive fluid lines or HVAC systems, a leak is catastrophic. Trying to flare a copper or aluminum tube with improvised tools results in uneven lips, cracked tube walls, and compromised fittings. The CT-195 Heavy-Duty Flaring Tool provides the exact mechanical advantage and geometry needed to cold-form soft metals into a flawless 45-degree mating surface.

💡 Pro Tip: Always apply a single drop of clean machine oil or cutting fluid to the tip of the flaring cone before driving it into the pipe. This drastically reduces friction, preventing the metal from galling and ensuring a mirror-smooth face on the inside of your flare.

How It Works: The Mechanics of a Perfect Flare

1️⃣

Secure the Clamp

The multi-hole die block grips the tubing tightly around its entire circumference, preventing it from slipping downward or distorting out of round.

2️⃣

Center the Yoke

The heavy cast-steel yoke slides over the die block and locks into position, perfectly aligning the hardened cone directly over the center of your tubing.

3️⃣

Cold Form the Metal

As you turn the T-handle, the cone pushes downward and outward, utilizing extreme leverage to stretch the soft metal into a uniform 45-degree lip.

Why Our Flaring Tool Outperforms the Competition

Feature	Cheap Generic Flaring Kits	FixPartHub CT-195 Kit
Yoke Material	Thin stamped steel that bends under pressure.	✅ 930g Cast steel for zero deflection.
Cone Quality	Roughly machined, tearing the copper wall.	✅ Polished and hardened for smooth metal rolling.
Tube Grip	Smooth holes allow the pipe to slip downward.	✅ Precision-milled gripping channels lock the tube in place.

Step-by-Step: Creating a Flawless Flare

Prep the Tubing
Cut the pipe perfectly square using a tube cutter. You MUST thoroughly deburr the inside lip of the cut before flaring, or the flare will crack.

Clamp the Pipe
Insert the tube into the correct size hole on the die block. Let it stick out roughly 1/8 inch (or the thickness of a nickel) above the block face. Tighten the wing nuts firmly.

Position the Yoke
Slide the yoke over the block, ensuring the cone is perfectly centered over the pipe opening.

Drive the Cone
Turn the T-handle clockwise. Stop when resistance becomes firm and the flare has seated fully against the 45-degree chamfer of the die block.

Leak-Free Seating Forms a perfectly even bell for airtight brass fittings and unions.

Whether you are building a custom dust collection pneumatic system, running a new compressed air line across your shop, or doing HVAC repairs, you cannot compromise on your tube flares. A bad flare means a slow leak, and a slow leak means system failure. The CT-195 Heavy-Duty Flaring Tool removes the guesswork. Built from 930 grams of raw, forged steel, this 2-piece setup delivers the mechanical advantage required to roll soft metals into a flawless 45-degree bell, ensuring your fittings seat perfectly airtight on the very first try.

💡 Pro Tip: The most common mistake in custom plumbing is forgetting the hardware! Always slide your flare nut onto the tubing BEFORE you clamp the block and form the flare. Once the metal is flared, the nut will not fit over the end.

How It Works: Flaring Mechanics

1️⃣

Clamp the Tubing

The split die block locks the tubing securely. The chamfered holes prevent the tube from slipping downwards when pressure is applied.

2️⃣

Center the Yoke

The heavy steel yoke slides directly over the block and hooks securely under the lip, centering the flaring cone perfectly over the tube opening.

3️⃣

Drive the Cone

Turning the T-handle forces the 45-degree cone downward, slowly expanding the metal outward into a perfect bell shape.

Why Cheap Tools Fail at Flaring

Failure Point	Budget Flaring Tools	FixPartHub CT-195 Kit
Yoke Deflection	Thin aluminum yokes bend, creating lopsided flares that leak.	✅ 930g solid forged steel guarantees dead-straight downward pressure.
Tube Slippage	Poorly machined die blocks let the tubing slide down under pressure.	✅ High-friction grooved blocks lock the tubing aggressively in place.
Metal Splitting	Rough, unpolished cones tear and split the copper edges.	✅ Precision-polished 45-degree cone rolls the metal smoothly.

Step-by-Step: Perfect Flare Execution

Cut & Deburr: Cut your tubing perfectly square using a tube cutter. Use a deburring tool to remove all sharp burrs from the inside and outside edges of the pipe.

Mount in Block: Place the tube in the correct hole size on the die block. Let the tubing stick out roughly 1/8″ (about the thickness of a nickel) above the chamfered edge. Tighten the wing nuts firmly.

Attach the Yoke: Slide the yoke over the block, hooking the ledges. Center the driving cone directly over the opening of the tubing.

Torque & Form: Turn the T-handle clockwise until resistance heavily increases and the cone is fully seated in the die chamfer. Back it out, release the block, and inspect your leak-free flare.

Tech Q&A: Tool Calibration & Specifications

❓ Q: What are the exact sizes on the Imperial and Metric blocks?
A: The Imperial (CT-195A) handles 3/16″, 1/4″, 5/16″, 3/8″, 7/16″, 1/2″, and 5/8″ tubing. The Metric (CT-195M) handles 5mm, 6mm, 8mm, 10mm, 12mm, 14mm, and 16mm tubing. Choose the variant that matches your local plumbing/hardware standards.

❓ Q: Can I use this tool to flare stainless steel hard lines?
A: No. This tool is specifically engineered for soft, ductile metals like copper, aluminum, and soft brass. Hardened stainless steel lines require specialized hydraulic flaring presses.

❓ Q: Does this create a single or double flare?
A: This tool produces standard single 45-degree flares. If you require double flares (often required for automotive brake lines in certain regions), you will need a separate double-flaring button adapter.

Safety & Usage Notes

Always deburr: Flaring a tube with rough inner burrs will cause the metal to split during expansion, guaranteeing a fluid/air leak.
Lubricate the cone: Placing a single drop of heavy oil on the flaring cone before use will dramatically reduce friction and result in a smoother, shinier metal finish.
Do not over-torque: Once the cone meets the chamfer of the die block, stop turning. Over-tightening thins out the bell walls and weakens the fitting joint.

What type of metal tubing can this flaring tool bend?

The CT-195 flaring tool is designed to easily form 45-degree flares in soft metals, specifically copper, aluminum, and soft brass tubing commonly used in HVAC, refrigeration, and pneumatic systems.

How do I choose between the Imperial and Metric options?

If your tubing and flare nuts are measured in inches (such as 1/4″ or 3/8″ lines common in the US and Canada), select the Imperial version. If your hardware is measured in millimeters (like 6mm or 10mm, common in European and Asian markets), select the Metric version.

Why is my copper tubing splitting when I use the flaring tool?

Splitting is almost always caused by failing to deburr the inside of the tube after cutting it. Sharp burrs act as stress risers. Always use a dedicated reamer or deburring tool to clean the inner edge before applying the flaring cone.
