Milwaukee Tool 45-96-8352 Flare Nut Wrench 13x14 Mm

Product Description

The MILWAUKEE TOOL 45-96-8352 is a double-end flare nut wrench sized 13 mm and 14 mm, built for working on flare fittings in refrigerant lines, brake lines, and fuel lines. The 6-point open-end head engages flare nut flats securely, reducing the risk of rounding soft brass or aluminum fittings under torque. The straight head profile and chrome steel construction keep the tool compact and corrosion-resistant for repeated use in the field. At 0.29 pounds and an overall length of 6.97 inches, it handles easily in tight spaces typical of HVAC and plumbing rough-in work. Licensed HVAC technicians, plumbers, and refrigeration mechanics are the primary users.

This wrench is suited for residential and light commercial service work wherever flare-type fittings are present. Common applications include tightening or loosening flare nut connections on copper refrigerant lines, gas supply tubing, and hydraulic or brake line fittings. The 13 mm and 14 mm sizing covers a range of metric flare fittings frequently encountered in modern HVAC equipment and imported plumbing components. The chrome finish resists rust in humid or wet service environments.

Installation Notes

This wrench is installed by HVAC technicians, refrigeration mechanics, and licensed plumbers during service or new installation of flare-type fittings. Always recover or isolate refrigerant and depressurize the line before loosening any flare connection. Follow applicable local mechanical codes and manufacturer torque requirements for the fitting being serviced. Do not use extensions or cheater bars on this wrench, as overloading the head can round flare nut flats or damage the tool.
