Yes, the Sealey PFT11.V3 is designed for use with both copper and aluminum pipes, making it versatile for various applications.
If the flares are uneven, ensure the pipe is cut evenly, the tool is securely clamped, and that you are applying consistent pressure during the flaring process. Also, check for any wear or damage to the flaring cone.
Inspect the flaring cone regularly for signs of wear such as chips, cracks, or uneven surfaces. If any of these are present, consider replacing the cone to maintain effective flaring performance.
After use, wipe down the Sealey PFT11.V3 with a clean cloth to remove any debris or residue. For a thorough clean, you can use a mild solvent to remove stubborn dirt, then dry the tool completely to prevent rust.
The Sealey PFT11.V3 is not recommended for stainless steel pipes as they require a more robust tool due to their hardness. It is best suited for softer metals like copper and aluminum.
To ensure a secure fit, make sure the pipe is cut straight and deburred, then align it properly within the clamp. Tighten the clamp screws evenly to ensure that the pipe is held firmly in place.
The Sealey PFT11.V3 weighs approximately 2 kg, making it relatively lightweight and portable for on-site work or transport between locations.
To improve precision, ensure the pipe is clean and free of burrs, use consistent pressure when operating the tool, and periodically check and calibrate the tool if necessary.
