Default Re: Hydraulic Tube Flaring

It takes practice over time but ive seen a small ball peen hammer struck with another and made flares for JIC fittings and Fowlers welding and Diesel servie in Halltown Alabama. They work on what is to big for me to fix my self in the field. They take a torch and heat the tubing to a cherry color and got to work on it. they bought a machine to do a few but while they setting up the machin Mr. Fowler can have one maybe 2 cooling down. And they rarely have one to leak. Its cool to watch a group of folks that talented work al together.
