Rothenberger - Flaring tool with imperial dies - 222402

Features of the Rothenberger 222402 Flaring Tool

The Rothenberger 222402 flaring tool is a professional instrument designed for creating flares on copper, brass, aluminum, and thin-walled steel pipes. This precision tool allows for the creation of 45° flares according to DIN standards, essential for secure and durable connections in hydraulic and refrigeration systems. The robust steel structure ensures wear resistance and longevity even under intensive use.

Technical Specifications

The set includes a calibrated imperial die that allows working on tubes with diameters from 3/16 to 5/8 inch. The precision screw mechanism ensures optimal control during the flaring operation, allowing for uniform and perfectly shaped flares. The low weight of approximately 1.2 kg and compact dimensions make this tool easily transportable in a toolbox. The rustproof surface finish protects the tool from oxidation and extends its lifespan.

Practical Applications

This flaring tool is used in numerous professional sectors:

• Installation and maintenance of refrigeration and air conditioning systems
• Creation of connections in hydraulic systems
• Repairs in the automotive sector for brake and fuel lines
• Installation of heating and solar thermal systems
• Processing on gas systems according to regulations

Operational Advantages

Using the Rothenberger 222402 flaring tool offers numerous benefits:

• Creation of precise and uniform flares that guarantee a perfect seal
• Significant reduction in the risk of leaks in connections
• Cost savings due to the ability to create connections without purchasing additional fittings
• Greater operating speed compared to other joining methods
• Versatility of use on different materials and diameters

Construction Quality

Like all Rothenberger tools, this flaring tool is manufactured according to rigorous German quality standards. The selected materials and heat treatments applied to the components guarantee consistent performance over time. The interchangeable die is produced with special hardened steels that maintain precision even after repeated use. The pipe clamping system is designed to prevent unwanted deformation during processing.

Tips for Optimal Use

To achieve the best results with the Rothenberger 222402 flaring tool, it is advisable to:

• Ensure that the pipe is cut perpendicularly and deburred accurately
• Apply a light layer of lubricating oil to the die before use
• Rotate the pressure screw gradually and uniformly
• Periodically check the wear condition of the die
• Store the tool in a dry environment after use

Maintenance and Care

Maintenance of the Rothenberger flaring tool is simple but essential to preserve its functionality. It is recommended to regularly clean the moving parts, removing material residues and lubricating the mechanisms. The die, a critical component for work quality, must be kept clean and free from dents. In case of intensive use, periodically check the tightening of the fixing screws and the calibration of the tool.
