This set is specifically designed for 4.75mm brake pipes, which is a common size in many vehicles.
No, this punch and die set is designed to be used with a hydraulic flaring tool, which provides the necessary controlled pressure for optimal results.
The set is suitable for use with copper, aluminium, kunnifer, and steel tubing.
No, this is a punch and die set. The hydraulic flaring tool is a separate piece of equipment required for operation.
A single flare is a basic cone shape, often used on lower-pressure lines. A double flare creates a more robust, inverted flare, providing a stronger seal and is typically required for brake lines due to higher pressures.
Ensure the flare is perfectly formed with smooth edges, using the correct punch for a single or double flare as required. Proper tightening of the fitting onto the flared pipe is also crucial.
This punch and die set is manufactured in England.
Ensure the brake pipe is securely clamped and fully seated. Check that the correct punch is being used and that the hydraulic flaring tool is applying steady, even pressure. Clean the punch and die for any debris.
Verify the material of the brake pipe is compatible (copper, aluminium, kunnifer, steel). Ensure the pipe is not over-worked; a single pass is usually sufficient for forming the flare. If using steel, ensure it is annealed if necessary.
Clean both the punch and die thoroughly. Apply a small amount of appropriate lubricant. Ensure no metal fragments are lodged in the components.
