Flaring Copper Tubing! Eccentric, Spin, Orbital Process & Block Kit!

In this HVAC Training Video, I show Step By Step How to Ream and Flare Copper Tubing with each Type of Flaring Tool. I Flare the Copper Tubing with the Standard Flare and Block Kit, Eccentric Flaring Tool, Spin Flaring Tool, and Deluxe Process Flaring Tool. I use the Mechanical Torque Wrench to Tighten the Flares to the Proper ft/lb Torque. I use the Round Reamer instead of the Stick Reamer and Unibit to Prepare the ACR (Air Conditioning Refrigeration) Soft Copper. Supervision is needed by a licensed HVACR Tech while performing tasks as Experience and Apprenticeship garners Wisdom and Safety.

Muy buenos eramienta de refrigeración me gusta

[@Mentorcase]

One time I was putting a double flare on a trailer override brake when the person that broke it came up and distracted me, then after flaring I noticed the nut still sitting on the trailer hitch, after cutting the flare of and reflaring it I just realized that I had done it again, time for a coffee before having another go.

thanks for an(other) excellent video - is it appropriate to use a flare+mechanical connection to fix a refrigerator ? I need to replace the compressor on my fridge and would be interested in trying this approach as opposed to brazing; or do we risk getting a leak after a few months due to vibrations ? Thanks !

I like the eccentric also. I have the same yj one and it seems like I always have trouble with the tubing slipping out of the yoke. I have to use mesh cloth to grip it. Poorly made I feel like.

[@desifre3544]

hello very nice channel very useful thank you for good useful shares i have a question i want to work with the air conditioner compressor externally I connected (+) L directly to c /// I made parallel connection from (-) N to capacitor // R I made a connection from the other leg of the capacitor or fuse blows or the compressor runs for 2 seconds 5/6 seconds stops and rings again for 2 seconds and it gets very hot.

Very informative, thank you!! One thing I would add at least for beginners is make sure the flare nut is on before flaring.. LOL May sound stupid obvious but it's a common beginner mistake.

[@crforfreedom7407]

LOL!! Beginner? Ever been in too big a hurry? LOL!!

[@acservicetechchannel]

I believe I mentioned that several times in this video and showed the nut on the copper but yes it has happened to all of us and it is now usually on the forefront of our minds before flaring, thanks!

[@nbctcp3450]

what are pros and cons using 1:40 minute manual flare vs 8:00 spin flare

[@johnsmithjr5498]

Isn't the angle of the flare different also? I know for the mini-split systems it's a 45°.

[@acservicetechchannel]

I believe I discussed that a little in the vid but we use 45 degree and all of these tools are 45 degree. Refrigerant flares regardless of the type such as R-22 or R-410A are 45 degree. Plumbing is also 45 degree, thanks!

[@overbuiltautomotive1299]

@@acservicetechchannel I always wanted to know if the angle of the flare for r22 & r410 A are the same thanks for this info.

[@shanefrank3281]

I love Craig's videos and have always followed his suggestions. However I have never been able to get a tube reamer like the red one he uses to work. Even with the copper tube pointed down and doing lots of tapping on the tube after reaming, I always find 1 or 2 VERY small copper flakes left inside the tube that I can't get out. Any suggestions on what I could be doing wrong or how to get the flakes out?

[@abcdefg3386]

Put some tissue or cotton ball inside the tube before reaming. You can pull it out afterwards with some long tweezers and it will take out all the flakes and chips with it.

[@natepeterson7145]

How long does the reamer last I have a red one

[@acservicetechchannel]

They don't really go bad unless it is a cheap one and the blade falls out. If the whole thing is metal, they usually last as long as you have them when using them for copper only, thanks!

[@patrickpk6299]

Personally, I prefer double flares for 1/4 and even 3/8. Any thoughts?

[@acservicetechchannel]

We just use single flares for HVACR. I understand being used to them do to steel brake lines, thanks!

[@crforfreedom7407]

@@acservicetechchannel Yeah, my problem is I don't use torque wrenches and I probably should. That's why I double flare my small lines; I can tighten them as tight as I can and no worries about the flange ripping off. No leaks so far. The sets I have are HVAC sets, so they make HVAC double flare kits so..... I guess we do!

[@acservicetechchannel]

The torque settings prescribed by the manufacturers are for single flares but as long as they hold, thanks!

[@jibaritomx]

I like the idea double flare, just carry some crescent wrench than carrying specific tools I have no space for that xD

[@Arzdnej]

@acservicetechchannel I never used torque wrench and never double flared and so far have not heard about leak of my flare after 6 years. The only risk is damage to the nut or valve thread. Why I do that? Because that's how it was done the company I worked for. They said they don't use torque wrench because they had leaks and they used the best flaring tool I've ever seen - it gives You total control over the process of doing a flare. It works similar to orbital tool but it uses three free spinnig cones connected with vertices and connected to spinnig press. When you think feel it's done you disconnect thread using some kind of clutch/pin and three cones still can rotate freely around axis while maintainig pushing force in place (without this step flare would have shape of rounded triangle). It's called grandfather's flaring tool because of inventor of this tool - some small manufacture in Poland. Hope they maintained production quality (the guy is retired now and his son taken over the business) because I want to start my own business and cannot imagine making flares without this tool.

[@scottjones7279]

Is there a rule of thumb on how much copper sticks out with each diameter of tubing?

[@johnsmithjr5498]

It is all the same. The new flare tools have a stop built in but you can use the width of a penny.

[@acservicetechchannel]

Yeah usually it is around an 1/8" past the edge of the flare block on most but it also depends on the depth of the flare grove in the block, thanks!

[@davidb2438]

Is it 1/8 inch from bottom of flare on tool or the top edge?
