Rothenberger - Flaring tool with metric dies - 222403

Features of the Rothenberger 222403 Flaring Tool

The Rothenberger 222403 flaring tool is a professional instrument designed for creating flares on copper, aluminum, brass, and thin-walled steel pipes. This precision tool allows for the creation of perfect 45° flares, ensuring secure and durable connections in piping systems. Its robust structure, made of high-quality steel, guarantees wear resistance and longevity, even under intensive use.

Technical Specifications

This flaring tool is equipped with calibrated metric dies, compatible with pipe diameters from 4 to 16 mm. The micrometric adjustment system allows for precise control of the flare depth, adapting to the thickness of the material being worked on. Its low weight of approximately 1.2 kg and compact dimensions make it easy to handle and transport in a toolbox. The corrosion-resistant surface finish protects the tool from wear and chemical agents commonly found in work environments.

Operational Advantages

Using the Rothenberger 222403 flaring tool offers numerous practical benefits:

• Superior precision in creating uniform and symmetrical flares
• Significant reduction in processing time compared to traditional manual methods
• Elimination of the risk of tube deformation or breakage during flaring
• Compatibility with different materials and tube thicknesses
• Minimum maintenance required due to high construction quality
• Ergonomic handle that reduces fatigue during prolonged use

Practical Applications

This tool is used in various professional sectors:

• Installation and maintenance of residential and commercial plumbing systems
• Creation of refrigeration and air conditioning systems
• Repair of brake circuits in the automotive industry
• Construction of industrial pneumatic systems
• Installation of radiant heating systems
• Work on solar thermal systems

Instructions for Optimal Use

To achieve professional results with the Rothenberger 222403 flaring tool, it is advisable to follow a few precautions: cut the tube perpendicularly using a precision tube cutter, deburr the end carefully, select the appropriate die for the tube diameter, lightly lubricate the work surface, and apply gradual and constant pressure during the flaring operation. These simple steps ensure perfectly formed flares free of imperfections.

Maintenance and Storage

To preserve the efficiency of the flaring tool over time, it is recommended to regularly clean the dies and moving parts, removing material residues and lubricant. After use, apply a thin layer of protective oil to the metal surfaces and store the tool in a dry environment. Periodically check the tightening of screws and the calibration of the dies to maintain the precision of the work. With proper maintenance, the Rothenberger 222403 flaring tool guarantees consistent performance for many years of professional use.
