Manufactured from alloy steel with a full polish chrome finish, this wrench is designed for work on fuel lines, brake lines, and other hydraulic or fluid tubing where a standard open-end wrench risks rounding the nut. Two sizes on a single wrench reduces the number of tools needed on the job. At 0.26 pounds and 7.035 inches in length, it fits easily in a tool roll or service bag. It suits HVAC, plumbing, and automotive service work where flare fittings and tube nuts are common.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis wrench is suited for residential and light commercial service applications where tube connections must be broken or secured without damaging the fitting. Common use cases include refrigerant line service, fuel and brake line repair, and compression fitting work on copper or steel tubing. The enclosed jaw design grips hex nuts on both sides to reduce cam-out, making it a practical choice whenever a tube or line prevents a box-end wrench from seating fully over the fastener.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTwo sizes on one wrench: 1\/2 inch and 9\/16 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEnclosed flare nut jaw grips hex nuts where tubing is present\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAlloy steel construction for durability under torque\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFull polish chrome finish resists corrosion and simplifies cleaning\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact at 7.035 inches long and 0.26 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard-pattern flare nut wrench for 1\/2 inch and 9\/16 inch hex nuts commonly found on fuel lines, brake lines, refrigerant tubing, and compression fittings in HVAC, plumbing, and automotive service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlways depressurize or shut off the fluid system before breaking a flare nut connection. Position the wrench fully over the nut before applying force to prevent rounding. Use in conjunction with a backup wrench on the mating fitting when working on live tubing to prevent twisting the line. Technicians should follow applicable codes and manufacturer torque guidance for the specific fitting type being serviced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eJaw Sizes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch x 9\/16 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7.035 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.26 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Alloy Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Full Polish Chrome\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUOM\u003c\/strong\u003e: Each\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: APEX\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 81682\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"APEX","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51344002941234,"sku":"81682","price":29.65,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/310498329.jpg?v=1782026554","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/apex-81682-flare-nut-wrench-1-2-x-9-16-inch-chrome","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
