3.2. Select the clamp block. For SAE male and female flares
(fig.3 A & B above) use the SAE marked side of the blocks
(fig.1) and SAE marked dies. For a DIN flare (fig.3 C
above) select the DIN side of the block and the DIN die.
3.3. Lay the pipe on the block, place the other half of the block
on top of the pipe and insert into tool as fig.2. Ensure that
the pipe is just inside the end of the block, clamp the
assembly in place using lock bolt (fig.2).
3.4. To form a Bubble (Male) flare SAE (fig.3.A).
First select the concave SAE die (fig.4) and insert it into the
locking collar on the ram (fig.5). Ensure the T-bar is fully
unwound (anticlockwise).
3.4.1. Adjust the lock plate (fig.5) half way along the thread and
insert the ram into the main tool body (fig.6).
3.4.2. Swivel the locking plate into position (fig.7) and tighten
the ram body ensuring the die tip locates in the pipe (fig.8).

3.4.3. Rotate the T-bar clockwise forcing the die into the pipe
(fig.9). Continue to turn until the resistance significantly
increases, undo the T-bar a couple of turns and remove the
fig.9
fig.1
ram assembly from the main body.
3.4.4. Remove the block and pipe from the main body (unless you
wish to make a double flare (fig.3B)) and separate the block
from the pipe, check that the flare has no cracks and is
symmetrically formed.
3.5. To form a Double (Female) flare SAE (fig.3.B).
3.5.1. Leave the pipe in the block after completing the bubble flare.
3.5.2. Change the die to the SAE convex die (fig.10).
This will fold the top section of the bubble flare inwards to
fig.10
form a double flare (fig.3.B).
3.5.3. Follow the same procedure as described in 3.4 to 3.4.4.
Again, check that the flare is symmetrically formed.
3.6. To form a Single Flare DIN (fig.3C).
3.6.1. Follow the procedures laid out in 3.4 to 3.4.4, only this time
select the DIN side of the block (fig.1) and the DIN concave
die.

3.7. Adaptor Driver (fig.11).
For jobs where restricted space makes use of the
hydraulic ram difficult, use the 23mm adaptor driver
in place of the ram.
WARNING! The safe operation of a vehicle, or other equipment, may well depend on the
quality of the flare produced. Discard any flare which is misformed or cracked in any way.
