Customer Questions & Answers
What advantages does the eccentric system on this flaring tool offer compared with a conventional one?
The eccentric system allows a more gradual and even deformation of the tube end, reducing the likelihood of fractures or cracks and improving the quality of the flare. It also makes work in tight spaces easier thanks to the lower turning effort required, compared with conventional straight-yoke models.
What materials are the kit and its main components made from?
The flaring tool and tube cutter are mainly made from hardened steel for greater durability and wear resistance, while the case is made from robust plastic for easy transport and storage. Anti-corrosion coatings are used on the working surfaces.
What tube diameters does the kit cover, and is it compatible with aluminium tubes?
The kit covers 1/4", 5/16", 3/8", 1/2", 5/8", 3/4" tubes (inches) and 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, 19 mm (metric). It is compatible with copper tubes and, under normal use conditions, it can also be used for aluminium, although due to the lower hardness of the material it is recommended to adjust the pressure and frequency of use.
What maintenance care do both the flaring tool and the tube cutter need to extend their service life?
It is recommended to clean the surfaces after each use to prevent build-up of swarf or residue. Applying a light lubricant to the moving parts and storing the tools in the plastic case away from moisture will extend service life and help prevent corrosion.
Does the set include any kind of warranty, and can spare parts for the moving components be purchased?
According to VALUE's general policy, kits usually include a limited warranty against manufacturing defects (normally 1 year). Spare parts (such as tube cutter blades or screws) can be purchased through authorised distributors, although availability may vary by region.
Which types of tubes is this flaring tool compatible with?
It is compatible with copper tubes in metric sizes from 6mm to 19mm and in imperial sizes from 1/4" to 3/4".
Does the kit include any additional tools?
Yes, it includes a tube cutter for diameters from 4 to 28 mm and a plastic case for storage.
Is it suitable for work in confined spaces?
Yes, its eccentric cone design allows fast and efficient movement in tight spaces.
Which brand makes this flaring tool?
The Value brand, recognised for offering refrigeration equipment of good quality and reasonable cost.
What applications is this flaring tool recommended for?
It is ideal for air conditioning, refrigeration and plumbing technicians who need to flare copper tubes with precision.
