Diversitech 195-fc 45 Degree Flaring Tool 3/16 to 5/8 Inch

Product Description

The DIVERSITECH 195-fc is a 45-degree flaring tool designed for copper and soft tubing work in HVAC, refrigeration, and plumbing applications. It handles seven sizes of outer diameter tubing from 3/16 inch through 5/8 inch, making it a versatile single-tool solution for field technicians. The forged steel flaring bar and slip-on yoke are hardened for durability under repeated use. A self-centering swivel-type flaring cone with a chrome finish produces consistent, leak-free 45-degree flares with reduced effort. The tool weighs 2 pounds and carries a satin nickel chrome plated finish throughout.

This tool is suited for residential and light commercial HVAC and refrigeration service work where 45-degree flare connections are required on refrigerant lines, fuel lines, or other soft tubing systems. The compact yoke design allows flaring in tight spaces where there is minimal clearance between the flare nut and the tube end — a common constraint when working in cramped equipment compartments or line sets near wall penetrations. HVAC technicians, refrigeration mechanics, and plumbers rely on this tool for both new installation and retrofit service calls.

Key Features

• Flares 7 tubing sizes from 3/16 inch to 5/8 inch outer diameter in a single tool
• 45-degree flare angle meets standard HVAC and refrigeration flare fitting specifications
• Rugged forged steel bar and yoke construction resists deformation under clamping load
• Positive clamping bar action prevents tube slippage during the flaring operation
• Self-centering swivel-type hardened steel cone produces uniform flares with less effort
• Compact yoke profile allows use in confined spaces with limited clearance
• Satin nickel chrome plated finish resists corrosion and wear in field conditions

Compatibility

Compatible with 3/16 inch (0.028 inch wall thickness), 1/4 inch (0.035 inch wall thickness), 5/16 inch (0.035 inch wall thickness), 3/8 inch (0.035 inch wall thickness), 7/16 inch (0.035 inch wall thickness), 1/2 inch (0.035 inch wall thickness), and 5/8 inch (0.035 inch wall thickness) outer diameter tubing.

Installation Notes

This tool is typically used by licensed HVAC technicians, refrigeration mechanics, and plumbers. Before flaring, ensure the flare nut is slipped onto the tubing and the tube end is deburred and cut square for a leak-free seat. Secure the tubing firmly in the correct size slot in the flaring bar before advancing the cone. Follow applicable mechanical and refrigeration codes for required flare joint integrity on pressurized systems.
