Rothenberger - Flaring tool with imperial and metric dies - 222401

Features of the Rothenberger 222401 Flaring Tool

The Rothenberger 222401 flaring tool is a professional instrument designed for flaring copper, aluminum, brass, and thin-walled steel pipes. This precision tool allows for the creation of 45° flares with both imperial and metric diameters, ensuring secure and leak-proof connections in piping systems. Its robust construction from high-quality steel guarantees durability and resilience even in the most demanding working conditions.

Technical Specifications

The complete set includes a universal die with both metric and imperial measurements, allowing work on pipes with diameters from 4.75 mm to 16 mm (3/16 to 5/8). Flaring precision is guaranteed by the screw locking system, which ensures constant and uniform pressure during operation. The low weight of approximately 1.2 kg and compact dimensions make this tool easily transportable in any professional's toolbox.

Practical Advantages

Using the Rothenberger 222401 flaring tool offers numerous benefits compared to other joining methods:

• Eliminates the need for welding, reducing the risks associated with using open flames
• Allows for the creation of removable connections, facilitating future maintenance interventions
• Guarantees perfectly sealed joints, preventing leaks even in high-pressure systems
• Significantly reduces installation times compared to other joining methods
• Allows working in confined spaces where other tools would be difficult to use

Ideal Applications

This flaring tool is used in numerous professional sectors:

• Installation and maintenance of residential and commercial plumbing systems
• Refrigeration and air conditioning systems
• Heating and gas distribution systems
• Automotive sector for repairing brake and fuel lines
• Industrial plants requiring leak-proof connections

Instructions for Optimal Use

To achieve professional results with the Rothenberger 222401 flaring tool, it is advisable to follow some precautions: cut the pipe perpendicularly using a precision pipe cutter, deburr the end carefully, select the correct size on the die according to the pipe diameter, apply gradual and uniform pressure during flaring. It is important to check that the resulting flare has a regular and uniform shape, without cracks or deformations that could compromise the seal.

Tool Maintenance and Care

To preserve the efficiency of the flaring tool over time, it is recommended to regularly clean the dies of residues and debris, occasionally lubricate moving parts with specific tool oil, store the tool in a dry environment to prevent rust formation, and periodically check the tightening of the fastening screws. With proper maintenance, the Rothenberger 222401 flaring tool will guarantee excellent and consistent performance for many years of professional use.
