Tutorial on using a copper tube flaring tool.
In my business certain jobs require a specific part in order to do the project. There’s nothing I hate more than running around to different supply houses to find that part. So today after spending a half a day trying to find a brass fitting that I could connect my air compressor to a backflow preventer so that I could blow out a lawn sprinkler system, I decided I would buy a copper tube flaring tool and build the fitting myself.
This video covers how to use a copper tube flaring tool. In this case I build a fitting that will transition from a 1/4″ flare fitting to a 1/4″ MIPT compressor fitting. Parts in video are annotated.
