HYDRAULIC FLARING AND SWAGING INSTRUCTIONS

Note: Copper tube to be ﬂared or swaged should be cut clean and square. Use a tool made to

cut copper tubing such as a commercial grade tube cutter. *The end must be deburred on the

inside and outside of the tube.

1. Open the relief valve by turning

counterclockwise. Hold the yoke

and rotate the hydraulic cylinder

until last thread on cylinder is

even with yoke

base. (Ref. Fig. 1)

2. Position the

correct size die

set and tube in

the yoke assembly.

Tube end should be even with face of die blocks for swage and even with mark on die blocks

for ﬂare. (Ref. Fig. 2)

3. Tighten "T" Handle (rotate clockwise) to lock die blocks and tube in yoke. When swaging,

insert correct size swage adapter into adapter seat on end of piston (slotted end of adapter

ﬁts into grooved end of piston). When ﬂaring, insert cone shaped adapter. (Ref. Fig. 3)

4. Close relief valve by rotating clockwise. When swaging, hold yoke and rotate hydraulic

cylinder clockwise advancing adapter as close to die blocks as possible, without inserting

into tube. When ﬂaring, rotate the hydraulic cylinder clockwise advancing the adapter to

engage the tube (Ref. Fig. 4)

5. Slowly pump handle. As piston advances, make sure adapter enters tube smoothly. Continue

pumping until resistance from pump handle is felt and large ﬂange on swage adapter reaches

face of die blocks or cone adapter has engaged die blocks. Stop pumping, swage or ﬂare is

complete. (Ref. Fig. 5)

6. Open relief valve, DO NOT loosen "T" Handle. Hold the yoke and rotate hydraulic cylinder

counter clockwise until adapter is fully disengaged from die blocks. Loosen "T" Handle

(rotate counter clockwise) and remove die block and tube from yoke. (Ref. Fig. 6)
