Ridgid Heavy Duty Flare Tools
RIDGID Heavy Duty Flare Tools
RIDGID Heavy Duty Flare Tools are professional precision tubing flaring tools engineered to produce smooth, uniform flares with minimal effort. Recommended for aluminum and soft copper tubing, these heavy-duty flaring tools are also capable of flaring compatible steel, stainless steel, hard copper, and brass tubing.
Designed for demanding plumbing, HVAC, refrigeration, mechanical, and industrial applications, RIDGID Heavy Duty Flare Tools combine rugged construction with advanced flaring technology for consistent tubing preparation.
Precision Flaring for Multiple Tubing Materials
The RIDGID Heavy Duty Flaring Tool provides versatile performance across a wide range of metallic tubing materials.
Its precision design helps form consistent flare profiles while minimizing uneven deformation, making it suitable for professional tubing fabrication and compatible flare fitting installations.
Hardened Steel Flaring Cone with Needle Bearings
A distinguishing feature of RIDGID Heavy Duty Flare Tools is the hardened steel flaring cone, eccentrically mounted in needle bearings.
This innovative construction creates a controlled rolling action during the flaring process, promoting even metal flow as the tubing end is formed.
The rolling mechanism helps produce uniform flare walls without galling, improving flare quality and reducing unnecessary surface damage.
Special Ironing Action for Smooth Flares
RIDGID Heavy Duty Flare Tools incorporate a special ironing feature designed to create a smooth, consistent flare surface.
This precision forming action helps produce evenly shaped tubing ends for properly matched flare fittings.
The combination of rolling action and ironing technology delivers accurate flaring results while reducing operator effort.
Professional Plumbing and Industrial Applications
RIDGID Heavy Duty Flare Tools are ideal for plumbing installations, HVAC service, refrigeration systems, mechanical contracting, industrial tubing fabrication, equipment maintenance, and MRO operations.
Their ability to work with aluminum, copper, steel, stainless steel, and brass makes them valuable additions to professional tool inventories.
Dependable RIDGID Heavy-Duty Flaring Performance
When selecting a RIDGID Heavy Duty Flare Tool, verify tubing diameter, material, wall thickness, flare angle, and fitting compatibility.
With their hardened steel cone, needle-bearing rolling action, uniform flare walls, and specialized ironing features, RIDGID Heavy Duty Flare Tools deliver reliable precision and professional flaring performance.
