Imperial 500-FC 45° Rol-air™ Flaring Tool (3/16" to 5/8" O.D.)
The Imperial 500-FC Rol-air™ Flaring Tool is engineered to create precise 45-degree flares on copper, brass, aluminum, and thin-wall steel tubing (3/16" to 5/8" O.D.). Featuring a unique faceted, hardened steel cone, this professional HVAC tool reduces the torque required to make a flare. It automatically burnishes the flare face to minimize deburring and maintains the original wall thickness at the base. The slip-on yoke design and precision-threaded feed screw ensure effortless flaring without scoring the tubing, even in tight quarters.

Tradie Pro Tip: The slip-on yoke design is a lifesaver when working in tight quarters with minimal clearance between the nut and the tube end. It allows you to easily slide the tool into position without needing extra space to swing or lock a hinged yoke.
