Ridgid Tube Flaring Tools
RIDGID Manual Tube Flaring Tools for Professional Tubing Connections
RIDGID Manual Tube Flaring Tools provide plumbers, HVAC technicians, refrigeration professionals, mechanical contractors, and maintenance personnel with a portable solution for producing accurate flares on compatible tubing. Designed for manual operation, these professional flaring tools allow technicians to prepare tubing directly at the jobsite without requiring powered equipment.
A properly formed flare creates the sealing surface needed for a secure connection between tubing and compatible flare fittings. RIDGID manual flaring tools provide controlled forming action to help produce consistent, professional-quality tubing ends for installation and repair applications.
Portable Manual Tube Flaring
The compact design of RIDGID Manual Flaring Tools makes them ideal for service vehicles, toolboxes, fabrication benches, mechanical rooms, and field installations. Manual operation gives the technician direct control over the flaring process while eliminating the need for electricity or battery power.
Depending on the specific RIDGID model, flaring tools are available for different tube diameters, tubing materials, and flare requirements.
Accurate and Consistent Tubing Flares
Proper tubing preparation is essential for creating a reliable flare. Tubing should be cut squarely and correctly deburred before being positioned in the flaring tool. The correct amount of tubing must extend from the clamping mechanism to create the required flare geometry.
Using the proper RIDGID tube flaring tool helps produce uniform flares while minimizing unnecessary tubing deformation.
Plumbing, HVAC and Refrigeration Applications
RIDGID Manual Tube Flaring Tools are useful for plumbing, HVAC, refrigeration, mechanical systems, equipment installation, appliance service, industrial maintenance, and MRO applications.
Their portability makes them especially valuable for technicians who perform repairs and installations in the field.
Selecting a RIDGID Manual Flaring Tool
Before selecting a RIDGID Manual Tube Flaring Tool, verify the tube outside diameter, tubing material, wall thickness, required flare angle and style, fitting specifications, and tool capacity.
Matching the correct RIDGID flaring tool to the tubing and fitting helps produce accurate, consistent flares for dependable professional tubing connections.
