Cutting/Flaring the pipes

1. Make sure that you prepared the required tools. (pipe cutter, reamer, flaring tool and pipe holder)
2. If you want to shorten the pipe, cut it using a pipe cutter ensuring that the cut edge remains at 90° with the side of the
pipe. There are some examples of correctly and incorrectly cut edges below.
3. To prevent a gas leak, remove all burrs at the cut edge of the pipe using a reamer.
4. Carry out flaring work using flaring tool as shown below.
