10.2.2. R410A Tools
1. Cooper tube gauge for clearance adjustment / (used when flaring
with the conventional flaring tool (clutch type))
- This gauge makes it easy to set the clearance for the copper
tube to 1.0-1.5 mm from the clamp bar of the flaring tool.
2. Flaring tool (clutch type)
- In the R410A flaring tool, the receiving hole for the clamp bar
is enlarged so the clearance from the clamp bar can be set to 0
-0.5 mm, and the spring inside the tool is strengthened to
increase the strength of the pipe-expanding torque.This
flaring tools can also be used with R22 piping, so we
recommend that you select it if you are buying a new flaring
tool.
