Carr Lane CLR-300-TL | 5/16" Size x 37 Degree Flare Angle Flaring Tool

Product Information

This handy, high-quality tool is designed especially for flaring heavy-wall hydraulic tubing in 5/16" O.D. size. The Flaring Tool consists of two clamping jaws with a wire handle and a striking tool. The only other tools required are a hammer and a vise.

Operation

Insert tube end between the clamping jaws, extending 1/8" above the top. Place the lower portion of the clamping jaws in a vise and tighten until the jaws contact solidly. Insert point of striking tool into the tube end and strike 3-4 times with a hammer. Remove tubing from clamping jaws, then install nuts and sleeves before flaring the second end. After flaring both ends, inspect to verify that each flare’s outside diameter extends beyond the I.D.of the sleeve, but not beyond the O.D. of the sleeve.

Tubing Installation

Tubing pieces should be prepared for installation by following these steps:1) Cut tubing to length with a Tubing Cutter, CLR-100-TL, or hacksaw.2) File or sand tube end square.3) Deburr both O.D. and I.D., preferably with a Deburring Tool, CLR-200-TL.4) Clean with solvent to remove chips, dirt, and rust-preventative coating.5) Blow clean with a shop air line.6) If using 37 Degree-flare fittings, flare tubing with a Flaring Tool, CLR-300-TL. Note: a Tube End fitting, consisting of a nut and sleeve, must be placed on each tube end before flaring is completed.7) Bend as required, preferably with a Tubing Bender, CLR-400-TL.
