13.2.2. R410A Tools1. Copper tube gauge for clearance adjustment(used when flaring with the conventional flaring tool (clutchtype))•••• This gauge makes it easy to set the clearance for thecopper tube to 1.0-1.5 mm from the clamp bar of theflaring tool.2. Flaring tool (clutch type)•••• In the R410A flaring tool, the receiving hole for theclamp bar is enlarged so the clearance from the clampbar can be set to 0-0.5 mm, and the spring inside thetool is strengthened to increase the strength of the pipe-expanding torque. This flaring tools can also be usedwith R22 piping, so we recommend that you select it ifyou are buying a new flaring tool.3. Torque wrenches4.
