Imperial 500-FC 45° Rol-Air Flaring Tool 3/16" to 5/8"

Name: Imperial 45° Rol-air™ Flaring Tool 3/16" To 5/8" 500-fc
Brand: Imperial
SKU: IMP-500C
Price: 247.49 AUD
Availability: InStock

The Imperial 500-FC Rol-Air flaring tool forms perfect 45° flares on copper refrigerant tube from 3/16" to 5/8" OD. The faceted, hardened steel chrome-finished cone rolls out the flare above the die block and automatically burnishes the flare face during formation — reducing the need for deburring and producing a smoother, more consistent flare with less effort than standard flaring tools.

For a kit with tube cutter included, see the Imperial 124-FA. For a flaring and swaging kit, see the Imperial 275-FS. See all refrigeration tools at HVAC Shop AU.

Common Questions for Imperial 45° Rol-air™ Flaring Tool 3/16" To 5/8" 500-fc

What makes the Rol-Air mechanism on the 500-FC different?

The 500-FC uses a faceted, hardened steel chrome-finished cone that rolls out the 45° flare above the die block rather than pressing directly. This rolling action automatically burnishes the flare face during formation, reducing the need for deburring and producing a smoother, more consistent flare with less effort.

What tube sizes does the Imperial 500-FC cover?

The 500-FC covers tube sizes 3/16", 1/4", 5/16", 3/8", 1/2" and 5/8" OD — the standard range for copper refrigerant tube used in residential and light commercial HVAC/R and air conditioning installations.

How does the 500-FC compare to the 195-FC flaring kit?

The 500-FC uses the Rol-Air rolling cone mechanism for smoother flares with automatic burnishing. The 195-FC uses a forged steel yoke with a swivel-type cone and positive clamping bar. Both form 45° flares — the 500-FC is preferred when flare surface quality is a priority.
