Six Sizes for Common Tubing
The Westward 3CYR7 flaring tool creates single 45 degree flares on aluminum, brass and copper tubing. It covers six sizes from 3/16 in to 5/8 in, matching the most frequent automotive and refrigeration lines. Mechanics and HVAC technicians use it to form leak-free joints on-site.
Swivel Cone and Sliding Handle
A swivel cone centres itself on the tube end while the sliding T-handle supplies leverage, so the flare forms evenly without cracking the wall. The tool accepts walls up to .065 in thick; thicker tubing will not seat properly. Aluminium body keeps the kit light but requires a clean, square cut to avoid oval flares.
Consistent Flares Under Repeated Use
The hardened cone maintains its profile through many cycles, producing repeatable 45 degree angles without galling soft metals. Heat does not build up in the aluminium frame during extended sessions, so dimensional accuracy holds steady. The fixed size set limits the tool to the six listed diameters; larger or metric lines need a different kit.

Questions about this item
How do I verify the Westward 3CYR7 produces a correct 45-degree flare on 3/16 in tubing?
After setup, form a flare on a scrap piece of 3/16 in copper or aluminum tube and measure the angle with a protractor; it should read 45 degrees and the cone should seat evenly without cracks.
What tube sizes and accessories are included with the Westward 3CYR7 flaring tool?
The tool comes with six dies for 3/16, 1/4, 5/16, 3/8, 1/2 and 5/8 in tubing, a sliding T-handle and the swivel cone; no tubing, deburring tool or lubricant is supplied.
Which flare type should I select if I need single 45-degree flares on copper lines up to 0.065 in wall thickness?
Choose the Westward 3CYR7 as listed — it is designed specifically for single 45-degree flares on aluminum, brass and copper with a maximum wall thickness of 0.065 in.
