Cps ft525 45 Degree Universal Flaring and Burnishing Tool 3/16 to 5/8 Inch Od Tubing

Product Description

The CPS ft525 is a 45 degree universal flaring and burnishing tool built for HVAC technicians, refrigeration mechanics, and plumbers who work with copper and soft metal tubing. This tool adjusts to hold outside diameter tubing ranging from 3/16 inches to 5/8 inches, covering the most common tubing sizes used in air conditioning, refrigeration, and plumbing lines. The ft525 uses a universal tube holding mechanism that grips tubing securely without the need for separate collets or inserts, saving setup time on the job. The forged steel slip-on yoke is rugged and built to withstand repeated use in demanding field conditions. A large handle gives the technician solid torque control, reducing hand fatigue during extended work sessions. The faceted flaring cone is the standout feature of this tool. As the cone presses into the tubing, it simultaneously flares and burnishes the flare face in a single operation. Burnishing smooths and work-hardens the flare surface, which helps create leak-free connections when fitting flare nuts and fittings. This is especially important in refrigerant lines where even small leaks can cause system failure or refrigerant loss. The tool produces consistent 45 degree flares while maintaining wall thickness at the base of the flare. Maintaining base thickness is critical because thinning at the base is a common cause of cracked or failed flares under pressure. The compact design makes this tool practical in tight spaces such as equipment closets, wall cavities, and mechanical rooms where larger tools cannot fit. HVAC service technicians and installers will find this tool reliable for both new installation and repair work on residential and commercial refrigerant lines, ACR tubing, and soft copper plumbing lines.

• Adjusts to fit 3/16 inches to 5/8 inches outside diameter tubing with a universal holding mechanism
• Faceted flaring cone burnishes the flare face automatically during the flaring operation for leak-free connections
• Compact forged steel construction with large handle, designed for use in tight work spaces

Product Highlights

The CPS ft525 delivers consistent 45 degree flares with built-in burnishing in a single compact tool, making it a reliable choice for HVAC and refrigeration technicians working with standard ACR and copper tubing sizes.
