Thank you! We were curious about how much tubing had to be exposed to use the flaring tool to flare it. Now we know it's 1/8th of an inch. Awesome instructive video 📹 👏 👏👏 Thank you for a job well done 🙋‍♂️🙋‍♀️

Thank you, Good Sir. I just got a steam boiler water injector and it needed flared connections. After seeing your video I understand the process of making flared fittings and have ordered a similar tool from McMaster-Carr.

Excellent How to Video! Thank you for taking the time!

Great tutorial. Thank you for your time, sir!

Excellent video sir. Thanks for the time you took.

This is a great example if you are creating a flare for a fitting to blow out a sprinkler system. If you are creating a flare for an air filled system this is great. If, however you are creating a flare for a liquid filled system, you need to de-burr the copper tubing, using a reamer tool, before creating the flare, otherwise you will end up with a leak.

Thank you, I found that very useful.

Nice video, very helpful for an espresso machine modder!

Great tutorial.

Thanks for the video. It is indeed informative.

Great project

Great Instructional Video- Thank you!!!

thank you for the tips that really help me.!

Thanks for the comment.

What would i know without youtube

I have one of those multi size hole clamp that I never knew what it's for :) now I know. Got it from the dad.

Thanks for this! TIP! You can often rent this tool from auto zone or O'Reilly as they are used for brake lines

nice vid bro. very helpful. cheers

Thanks for the video

most helpful thanks so much for posting.

now i know how to use it :D, thanks for your video.

Thanks for commenting.

Thanks for the feedback.

Just an FYI, if you’re gonna push air through the lines of the sprinkler system, you ought to be connecting to the #4 test cock (here you are connecting to the #2 test cock), the #4 TC is downstream of the relief valve and #2 check valve , and a more direct route into the pipe line. By blowing through the #2 TC, you are pushing compressed air through check valves 1 & 2 and the relief valve, potentially damaging these components. If you connect to the #4 TC, then your air is being pumped in on the downstream side of check valve #2 and as long as the check valve is working properly, it will hold the back pressure of air and prevent it from going backwards into the relief valve and towards the first check valve- the air will be directed straight into the downstream piping from the backflow preventer.

thanks for the vid!

At 3:26 - I always thought the next step was to forget to slide the next flare nut over the tubing. At least, that's how I always do it.

The flaring tool has a longer leg on the wingnut side. That allows for holding it in a vise.

good 1 !

Nice

I noticed that you did not debur the tubing after you cut it for the second flare.

Thanku

How would you create a sharp end to this tube?

why did you edit out the actual creation of the flare both times?

if you remove the brass fitting on backflow preventer, a standard 1/4 male compressor fitting should fit right in to the backflow

No deberring?

I'm trying to get a flare on 1/8" copper tubing, the smallest size the flare kit will hold. For the life of me, I can't get a good flare. It either rips apart on one side, and/or the flare tool just doesn't center well in the tiny ID of the tubing. This is for a fuel primer line but it will not hold any pressure. Still, reaming or deburring the ID is out of the question. The best I could do is maybe run a tiny drill bit in there. I've tried about 8 flares already. So frustrating. Any tips on flaring 1/8" tube is much appreciated.

Good job,but the volume is not so good..

It will flare any type of line copper or stainless or steal you call it a copper flare toolkits a metal tubing flare tool

where did you get the tubing and the fittings?

Uslist...

Very low audio turn up the mic on record

stop calling the clamping bar the yoke, the yoke is the piece with the cone, other than all the misnaming good video

Slide the fitting F-I-R-S-T !!!! Not last !!!

Speak up! My volume is maxed and u are still mumbeling. Bubba, don't overlook teflon tape on the non flared connections.

You did not instructed the distance of the pipe protruding through the pipe clamp or show the tool that gives you the correct hight of the pipe beyond the clamp! I have got to give you a big thumbs down for this video!

Thanks for the video
