        RectorSeal | Pro-Fit Precision Flaring Kit 45 Degree | 5-Piece Colour-Coded Bit Set

        The RectorSeal 87001 Pro-Fit Precision Flaring Kit is a five-piece power tool bit set that forms a standard 45 degree flare in copper and aluminium line sets. The 87001 covers 1/4, 3/8, 1/2, 5/8 and 3/4 inch tube, and each bit runs on a standard 1/4 inch hex shank. The kit is supplied in a see-through case for transport between jobs.

        Manual flaring blocks slow a mini-split installation. A flare cut on a worn yoke frequently finishes short, split or eccentric to the tube. Those irregular sealing surfaces are the connections that weep refrigerant once the system is commissioned. The 87001 spins a hex flaring bit into the tube instead: the guide tip centres the bit, the stopper sets a consistent flare length, and the bit burnishes the sealing surface as the flare forms.

        Installers commissioning several head units a week produce identical flares on the final connection and the first. That repeatability is what delivers a clean pressure test. The bits chuck directly into a drill or impact driver, so there is no adapter and no additional tool on the belt. Colour-coded, size-inscribed bits identify the correct diameter immediately, even in a confined roof space. The 87001 holds its place in the toolbox as a flaring kit that performs to its description, given some practice on copper offcuts first.

        Features

        • Five flaring bits — covers 1/4, 3/8, 1/2, 5/8 and 3/4 inch tube in the one 87001 kit.
        • Standard 45 degree flare — forms the 45 degree flare used on mini-split HVAC line sets and flare fittings.
        • Flare stopper — sets a consistent length of flare surface on every bit, so flares do not run long or short.
        • Guide tip — centres the bit in the tube before the flare forms, holding the flare square to the pipe.
        • Burnished sealing face — the spinning bit smooths the flare surface, cutting the split, burr and blemish faults that cause fitting leaks.
        • Standard 1/4 inch hex shank — drops directly into most drills and impact drivers with no adapter needed.
        • Colour-coded bits — each bit is colour-coded and size-inscribed for quick identification in the case.
        • See-through case — the RectorSeal 87001 case keeps bits sorted and visible without opening every compartment.
        • Boxed as a tool kit — supplied as a tool box kit sized to travel in a service van or tool bag.
        • Copper and aluminium only — the bits are rated for copper and aluminium line sets, not steel, stainless or brass tube.
        • Flare bits only — the 87001 forms flares; it does not swage tube for a slip joint.
        • Power tool operation — flaring runs off a power tool rather than a hand yoke, which drops the time per joint.

        Where to use

        • Mini-split installs — the RectorSeal 87001 flares the pair coil ends at both the indoor head and the outdoor unit.
        • Multi-head system rough-ins — several flare sizes on one job are covered without swapping tools between runs.
        • Service and repair callbacks — a weeping joint can be cut back and re-flared on site with the 87001 bits.
        • Refrigeration pipework — copper runs terminating in flare fittings on small refrigeration plant.
        • Aluminium line set work — the bits suit aluminium line sets as well as copper, so alloy jobs need no separate approach.
        • Van and toolbox stock — the see-through case travels as standing kit for air conditioning installers.
        • Crew consistency — a fixed stopper length gives the same flare from a first-year apprentice as from the lead installer.

        The RectorSeal 87001 is not rated for steel, stainless or brass tube and should only be run on copper and aluminium line sets. It forms a 45 degree flare only, so it does not suit fittings calling for a different flare angle. The kit does not swage tube, and it is not a substitute for correct sizing and preparation of the pipe before flaring.

        Verified Sparky Direct customer reviews: Rectorseal 87001 Pro-Fit Precision Flaring Kit (87001)

        "A vice is not needed like stated in previous reviews." — Josh

        (87001)

        The 87001 kit holds five flaring bits covering 1/4, 3/8, 1/2, 5/8 and 3/4 inch tube. Each bit is colour-coded and inscribed with its size so the correct one is easy to pick out of the case.

        Each bit carries a standard 1/4 inch hex shank that fits directly into most drills and impact drivers. No adapter is required. The bit spins in the tube to form the flare, so a hand yoke is not part of the process.

        A standard 45 degree flare. The tip guides the bit into the tube so the flare forms square to the pipe, and the spinning action burnishes the sealing face. That burnishing reduces the splits, burrs and blemishes that cause leaks at flare fittings.

        A stopper on each bit sets a fixed length of flare surface. The bit runs until the stopper meets the tube, so the flare finishes the same depth every time regardless of who is holding the drill. No measuring or gauging is needed between joints.

        The Pro-Fit bits are made for copper and aluminium line sets, which covers most mini-split HVAC pipework. They are not rated for steel, stainless or brass tube, so those materials need a different flaring method.

        No. The Pro-Fit flare bits form a 45 degree flare only. Swaging a tube end to take a slip joint is a separate operation and needs swage bits, which are not part of this kit.

        The bits come in a see-through case, supplied as a boxed tool kit. The clear lid shows which bits are in place without opening the case, and the box suits a service van or tool bag.

        Fantastic Product on 21 June 2020

        The Product is true to its description and with a little bit of practice, produces a superior flare in a timely manner. A vice is not needed like stated in previous reviews and can easily be executed held in hand. The only recommendation i would give is to wear a suitable low profile glove as the copper pipe can get hot!. Overall very happy with product.

        Works really well in a controlled environment eg in a vice. But hard to keep straight when held in hand with or without gloves. not my cup of tea.
