Flaring Tool Rothenberger 1000000222 Pipe Diameter 6 8 10 12 16 mm

The Rothenberger flaring tool model for pipe diameters 6, 8, 10, 12 and 16 mm is a hand-held metalworking instrument intended for forming accurate single flares on soft copper and similar tubing used in plumbing and HVAC connections. The tool has a compact design with red and black finish and a weight that allows controlled handling during repetitive use. It accepts tube sizes from 6 mm up to 16 mm and produces standardized flares that facilitate reliable mechanical and soldered joints.

Advantages

The tool provides precise flare geometry across five common tube diameters, reducing the need for multiple dedicated tools. Its compact and balanced construction supports stable clamping and consistent flaring, while the ergonomic handle and moderate weight make it suitable for on-site plumbing work. Durable materials and straightforward adjustment contribute to a long service life and predictable results when preparing tubing for flare fittings.

Suitable for

• Forming single flares on copper tubing for plumbing assemblies
• Preparing tubes for refrigeration and HVAC flare connections
• Service and repair work where multiple tube sizes are encountered
• Installations requiring leak-tight mechanical or soldered joints

Key specifications

• Supported tube diameters: 6 mm, 8 mm, 10 mm, 12 mm, 16 mm
• Type of flare produced: single flare for mechanical and soldered fittings
• Material construction: metal body with corrosion-resistant finish
• Weight: approximately 1.5 kg for easy handling
• Finish/color: black and red

How to use

Cut the tube square and deburr the inside and outside edges before clamping. Select the correct clamping position for the tube diameter and tighten the clamp to hold the tube securely. Align the flaring cone with the tube end and operate the flaring mechanism smoothly until the flare reaches the required profile. Release the clamp and inspect the flare for uniformity and absence of cracks. Make minor adjustments or trim as necessary to ensure a proper fit with the flare fitting.

Usage recommendations

Use the tool on clean, soft tubing and perform deburring prior to flaring to avoid cracks and leaks. Check flare dimensions against fitting requirements and avoid over-tightening during clamping. Store the tool dry and clean to preserve the finish and maintain consistent performance.
