4. Configuració

Before flaring, ensure your tube is cut squarely and deburred. A clean, burr-free end is crucial for a proper flare.

1. Select Flaring Bar: Choose the appropriate flaring bar for your tube diameter. The bars are marked with corresponding sizes (e.g., 3, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 15, 16, 19 mm).
2. Inserir tub: Insert the end of the tube into the correct size hole on the flaring bar.
3. Adjust Tube Height: Position the tube so that it extends slightly above the surface of the flaring bar. The exact height depends on the desired flare size, typically about 1/16 to 1/8 inch (1.5 to 3 mm).
4. Secure Flaring Bar: Tighten the wing nuts on the flaring bar firmly to clamp the tube securely in place. This prevents the tube from slipping during the flaring process.

5. Instruccions de funcionament

This section details the steps for creating a flare on a tube using the Yato YT-2180 set.

1. Attach Flaring Clamp/Yoke: Place the flaring clamp (yoke) over the flaring bar, ensuring the cone-shaped adapter is centered directly above the tube opening.
2. Align Adapter: If using a separate flaring adapter, insert it into the clamp and ensure it is aligned with the tube.
3. Begin Flaring: Slowly turn the handle of the flaring clamp clockwise. This will push the cone-shaped adapter down into the tube, gradually expanding it.
4. Aplicar una pressió constant: Continue turning the handle with steady, even pressure. The tube will begin to form a flare against the tapered opening of the flaring bar.
5. Complete Flare: Continue until the flare is fully formed and the cone adapter makes firm contact with the flaring bar. Do not overtighten, as this can damage the flare or the tube. The maximum angle of opening is 90 degrees.
6. Release Tool: Turn the flaring clamp handle counter-clockwise to retract the cone adapter.
7. Remove Tube: Loosen the wing nuts on the flaring bar and carefully remove the flared tube.
8. Inspect Flare: Visually inspect the flare for uniformity, cracks, or imperfections. A properly formed flare should be smooth and even.
