Making Copper Flare Faces With Eccentric Flaring Tools!

[@mofiddly]

The eccentric flaring tool creates a better flare, and seals better for systems using refrigerant that operates at higher pressures than the old standard r22 Freon. Recommended for mini split A/C units. The tool works well, and is not very expensive. It's a good investment.

Not discussed here is which type of copper is in use.

[@OcRefrig]

Been using a Standard Flare block for 43 Years ! No Problems with Making Flares ! Biggest Problem i've seen in my over 40 Years of Making Flares is people using a SHORT FLARE NUT ! it provides Zero support for the copper tubing & the Flared Location. i ONLY USE a LONG FLARE NUT ! it Supports the flare & the copper tubing. Flares are a Terrible way to connect a HIGH PRESSURE LIQUID LINE anyhow ! Brazing the Line is the only way to go !!! Avoid Flares at all cost if Possible!

Why do minisplits use flares?

[@TheDroppedAnchor]

I learned to flare in 1973 with the short nuts. When I discovered the long variety my success rate went to 100%. I last flared on an automated combustion system install on an ancient boiler-powered ship. Maybe nowadays the young adults aren’t being taught correctly and must use expensive gadgets. IDK.

@@thomato0981maybe because I could flare when I was 18. Wasn’t until I was 20 before I could braze.

[@OcRefrig]

@@thomato0981 Less Risk for Manufacturer. if it was a sweat joint People would possibly overheat the Valve & or Not use nitrogen when Brazing creating oxidation inside the pipe possibly causing trouble for the system.

Do you braze on the mini splits flare prayers 🙏

It’s normally called an orbital flaring tool.

Which copper flaring tool do you prefer?

[@jessienascar8778]

Man, to know what you know

[@garciacristian86]

The Navac automatic ones are horrible for 3/8 line It loosens up and gives a bad flare I keep mt Blackmax on deck at all times

[@ryanbrand3946]

It makes no difference

[@acservicetechchannel]

It really depends on the tool and the operator for sure so if you have great flare faces, keep doing what you are doing!!!
