How to make a double inverted brake line flare Part 3
A double inverted brake line flare, also known as a double flare, is a method of flaring the end of a tube to create a secure and leak-proof connection with a fitting. The process involves two distinct steps: creating an initial flare and then folding the flare back onto itself to form a double layer. This double layer increases the strength and durability of the connection, making it particularly suitable for high-pressure applications such as brake and hydraulic systems.
Making a double inverted flare using a S.U.R.&R. PFT409 Piston Grip Flaring Tool Kit is a three-step process. This is the easiest way to make any kind of brake line flare.
Purchase the S.U.R.&R. PFT409 Piston Grip Flaring Tool Kit
Load the brake line into the die
Load the inverting punch into the tool
Snap the hydraulic tool into the holding fixture
Release hydraulic pressure
Insert the flare punch
Complete the double inverted flare
Pump the trigger until the plunger won’t move any farther
