- In this HVAC Training Video, I show how to use SPIN Swage and SPIN Flare Bits on Copper Tubing Line Set! You must have a high rpm and high torque drill to make nice swages. I show the whole process of flaring the pipe after heating the copper tubing up and tightening the brass nut to the correct foot/lb torque. Supervision is needed by a licensed HVACR Tech while performing tasks as Experience and Apprenticeship garners Wisdom and Safety.

Craig. I have watched a lot of hvac videos. Yours are the best in my opinion. No nonsense, step by step, and paced to where someone can actually learn. Thank you.
Glad that you enjoy the channel, thanks Electric Boogie!
The manner in which you operated those adjustable wrenches I can you have seen many moons. Exceptional demonstrations and very good terminology. Cheers.
That spin flare looks like a godsend. It's a lot of work to set up a flare because you gotta clamp the bar down onto the pipe, then flare it, and all that. That spin flare looks easier.
Those bits are awesome. So glad I bought them this season. Saves so much time
They are nice when you have a high rpm drill with a high torque, thanks!
I bought the SPIN FLARE a few years ago and I LOVE IT!!! I used to always split the copper with my old manual flare tool making flares on heating oil lines! NOT anymore! Beautiful flare every time! Though it says on the box and recommends using a drill of 1800 RPMs or more my regular daily cordless Dewalt is 1500rpm but haven’t tried it on that yet I use my other older dewalt that is 2000rpms and works well.
I am very grateful to meet you. Your content is very useful for me in particular and for many people who need it. Thanks.🙏👍👍👍
Glad to hear that
My son and I recently installed a two-zone mini-split system and used the Spin flaring tools for both, the 1/4' and the 3/8" lines. All connections were pressure tested with nitrogen to 400 PSI and leak tested with an approved solution. We then evacuated the line set using a micron gauge and pulled it down to 175 microns and held it using a digital gauge set. No leaks and the system is running perfectly. If you follow the instructions supplied by Spin, the manufacturer, you can make perfect flares in seconds compared to several minutes per flare using a conventional flaring tool, and all you need is an 1800 RPM drill, and the Spin tools, (which cost less than a good flaring tool). The heat anneals the tubing as it forms the flare and when torqued to the required spec, that softened flare face forms itself perfectly to the face of the fitting it is tightened against, ensuring a perfect leak free joint. You can't get that with a conventional flaring tool. These Spin tools are worth every penny of the cost. I laugh when I see comments down playing the importance of doing things correctly, saying things like, "Nah, you don't need all that stuff, it's all hype", or "I did this, or I did that, and my system is running fine, and blah blah blah"! Funny part is, they'll never post a comment when their system fails prematurely two or three years later, always blaming it on the manufacturer of the system! I guess some people just have to learn the hard way.
Hey, I know this was a while ago, hope your good, but i just wanna know in your opinion it's better to buy a high RPM and have spin tools than to buy the tools itself?
@@Felixm09 If your working in Hvac you should already have a high Rpm drill
I can see it as an augmentation of a tool set but not a replacement . Didn't use torque wrenches on flare nuts in 1984 and some are still in leak free operation !
Used the swaige kit for three years now and the spin flare for a few months and love them both; the flare kit is exceptionally nice when installing ductless splits. Plus Spin sets come in small compact storage cubes, which is much more convenient than what the competition offers
Yeah they are small and compact which is nice!
Wow nice video tutorial, im AC Tech. In saudi arabia but your tools is very nice for my tools, good quality.
Great flaring and swaging info...
Damn I need these now. Ty for the demomstration
Cory thanks and glad to help!
very helpful.
Thanks brother👍
Glad to Help Trick!
Tight fit result for swaging tip very nice
Great video, thanks for the info.
Thanks Shawn!
I feel like the swaging bits are excellent but as I saw at the end of the video the flare kinda overhangs the actual male end of the flare nut. In most major manufactured refrigerant systems the installation manuals specify that flares can't overhang the nut. But I wouldn't know personally because I never tried t them.
Out standing new technology
we've come a long way since the days of swage bars and hammers!
Thanks for sharing this video Sir so nice tutorial.
So nice of you
great job
Good work sir
Bought these a year ago best tool I ever owned for this job. Looking at the Hilmar kit now lot more expensive but all around best way to do it
Nice video sir
I’ll never forget “my first time” doing the swaggering with this tool...
🤩⁉️🔥🤬😡🥵🤨😟😐😬😅😎
Yeah, practice first for sure, thanks!
craig, given both a flaring block and a set of these with no concern for time, which would you choose to use? what gives you a more satisfactory flare result?
I'm buying a set right now. thanks for the great instructions!!
Thank you for your support! Hope you enjoy it!
Good working,,
Great video.
Thanks Bart!
You might be able to chuck a spare male flare into and impact driver with socket adapter, so you only have use one wrench when you create the flare.
This is very good!
Thanks Junior!
Very nice 👌 tools I love it
Thanks Wazim!
Very nice.
Thanks dyd!
Spin swage spin flare very good learning.
Muy buena herramienta, se ahorra mucho sufrimiento con esta maravilla
So nice
Masha-Allah. Watching From Bangladesh
I needs this tool
Thank you 🙏
Any time!
Thanks from Bangladesh.
It's hard to recommend a tool that creates burrs when other swaging tools don't.
Are you referring to leaving some broken chippings as burrs? It doesn’t create a burr he even said it cleans it up but if you don’t have it upside down (as is recommended for all deburring) then it wouldn’t leave so much residue
If you don't ream regular swaging tools will also create a bur
I always tighten a fitting in a downward motion not pulling up on it, you always get more torque pushing down rather than pulling up & you won't punch yourself in the face when you're harbor freight adjustable slips off, I like the spin tool though
I'm surprised he wasn't using tubing wrenches.
THANKS🙏👍
Thanks for watching!
These r awesome
Thanks Tommy!
Nice tools bro
Thanks 👍
if iam not quick with flaring part , and i want to tighten the flares later, can i use butane to heat that up and then tight it on flare nuts ???
muy bueno !!

¡Gracias por ver! Si quieres ver nuestros videos en español, ¡mira nuestro canal de UA-cam en español aquí! www.youtube.com/@ACSTenespanol
Will this work on a used copper fitting to help remove solder inside the fitting that was removed from a used copper pipe?
Is this method suitable for potable water lines ?? Say if you wanted to make a copper line repair instead of using multiple couplings just make your own pipe section etc..
Спасибо. Всё по делу и без соплей.
Nice Trainee
Can you swage a 3/8 to hook up to a 1/2in mini split valve? Trying to reduce couplings
very nice
Thanks fathyy!
I can’t wait until I’m a certified HvacR tech
Great videos
Glad you think so!
@@acservicetechchannel going to get a set next week
اداة رائعة
شكرا لك
Not a fan of these tools. I like my flares to be done when I flare the tubing. The swaging tool is just a mess. It works ok, but as seen from this demo it's easy to have your swage end up at an angle, lopsided, or bell-mouthed. The biggest problem though is the copper contamination. Just having the tubing angled down doesn't prevent the problem as many of the particles stick to the inside. Small ID tubing is just about impossible to clean with a high degree of confidence. And there are times when you have to swage (or flare) "in-position", and that position usually isn't with the open end of the tube pointing down.
I will stick to conventional tools for my flaring and swaging duties. I use and prefer the Imperial "Rol-Air" flaring tool for it's ease of use and the very nice flares it makes. The Ridgid flaring tool is a nice piece as well. For swaging I use the Hilmor compact swage tool, which is a hand-held hydraulic swaging tool. It works great and is a high quality tool despite being made in China :-( I looked and looked and couldn't find anyone who made a similar non-Chinese-made tool, sadly. Had I found a US or European made tool like this one I would have bought it even at twice the price. As a rule I avoid Chinese-made anything, but ESPECIALLY TOOLS, at all costs, but this tool is so good I had to make a rare exception. There are some generic versions of this tool out there for a lot less money. Some may be good, but the one I know of that another guy bought only lasted about a year despite only occasional use. Also, the generic tools don't go up to 1-5/8" or down to 1/4", they are limited to 3/8" to 1-1/8". This makes them less useful for guys that do small refrigeration systems or large tonnage AC/R systems. I've had my Hilmor for 4 years now and it still looks and works like new. I just keep it clean and put some grease on the forcing cone and mating surfaces on the dies every now and then like the instructions say to do.
Hi good nigth were I can't find the spin flarein to by
If your doing regular L Tubing not soft ! Do you have to Anil the tubing ? Ty
3:20 Just want to point out that there is no need for the tube to remain hot when joining and completing the flare. When the flare is formed, the heat created by the spinning bit maintains the malleability of the copper; as opposed to other forming methods where the deformation of the copper results in work hardening.
Letting the tubing completely cool before connecting will have zero negative effect on the flare.
How do you create a 90° (flat) flare on a 15 mm Cu tube? Thanks
Anyone know if you can use this for propane?
With 3/8 and 1/2 will this split the copper or do you still have to anneal it?
It will somewhat anneal as the bit moves into the copper. It will heat up and you don't want to touch it with your hands. Make sure to wear gloves or hold the tubing in a block, thanks!
It is the best of the best tutorial! However, can you, please specify, whether it needs to be pre-heated (by a gas torch) before or it heats itself by friction while spinning? Thank you
No preheating because you dont want oxidation in the tubing. This is for soft copper otherwise known as ACR, thanks!
Ok, what if your trying to flare hard copper?
Way too many particles for A/C - I would never take the chance for those shavings entering my refrigeration cycle.
I would. It's $20 😆
I see that with many mini splits one is supposed to torque down the nut at lower value, then loosen and re-tighten at a higher torque setting. Does this process change with the spin flaring tool?
No.
Do you know any swaging bit for 3/16 tubes? I couldn't find any online, thanks.
I will learn more task for HVAC
can you use the swage bit onto hard drawn copper?
Will flare put as lot of dust as well? I didn’t realize you are suppose to tighten the joint right after forming a flare. I can see people installing the line set and flaring downward especially at the indoor A.H.. Since these Ductless use strainers I think this could be a nightmare. Which is your preference using these drill type or the flaring block with a clutch stop orbiter?
Yes it certainly will put dust in so that is why I recommend reaming it ahead of time to reduce that and also to do this while the line is faced downward to get it out before connecting, thanks!
My yellow jacket eccentric flaring tool make the absolute best flares of any tool but other such as these work well too, thanks!
AC Service Tech LLC thanks, that is why I respect you and Brian Orr, you both will explain the right way of doing the task. Thanks for everything you do
I want this one
Plz tell how to order this toll and prise
I have them linked at www.amazon.com/shop/acservicetech thanks!
شكرا لك انته مبدع
سعيد للمساعدة! Glad to help!
What do you think about flare gasket products like flare seal
So this tool is only good for soft copper ?
Can use with aluminium tube ?
Does the spin flares bits work for gas copper
Good
I can't believe the copper retains any significant heat at the mating face through the tightening procedure -- the copper-to-brass contact and the mass of the brass will heatsink it down in the first second or two, well below the point where it would affect the behavior of the material. The heat is probably playing a role during the spin portion of the process, but the nut tightening is done "cold" from the metal's point of view.
Still a super efficient process, but there's no need to rush with the nut!
I had seen the sweg tools but i didn't realize they had a flare option
I need this flair set
How can I get those tools that going to make my work easy
Awesome tools, but they need to be replaced after awhile. Mine gave me a few good years. Buying another set.
A few years is likely a lot of swages, thanks!
Slick. Wonder if you could make an adapter to 3/4 from 1/2 inch would a lot cheaper. They get a premium for those...
Easy
i need to order mine i just grad from hvac school.
Oh cool, I wish you the best and please ask questions when you have them, thanks Dark Choco!
I can do a better looking flare with my flaring kit but I do dab a bit of nylog on it just to be on the safe side .. 👍
Do they work on water copper too?
Where can I buy this tool? Also tell me the name of the tool
This is a definite call back
I've been using the spin flare tool for over 2 years. O callbacks. The tool have however become slightly blunt. Meaning it isn't effective as it was the day I first used it. I'm ordering another set.
What kind of torque wrench you used to tighten the flare nut?
The Milwaukee M12 Fuel driver works well for me. It's light and compact too. I guess any drill with high revolution should work bro.
Thank you, good info, but I understand there is a NEW tool for joining tubes that does not require soldering or brazing , I
forgot the name.
You are referring to Zoomlock. Yes you can use that. Fittings are fairly expensive, thanks!
Can it flare to 37 degrees?
Hi
Spin swage does not the same with your tools showing up on UA-cam
I can’t find the different brand name on the book
Can you show me exactly what the brand name of your tools
Thanks
Can you flare PVC conduit?
Can we use it for water also?
hello brother Tool kit kaha se millege aur kitne k hai ye sab ese kya kahete hai tool kit kol hmme eske k jarurat hai
Can this be used for water line
I feel the drill swagging is perfect but the finish of the drill flare which I saw inside the nut ....
I agree, thought exactly the same thing. Slightly better looking than an oilmans flare.
I will say that my eccentric flaring tool is my favorite for flaring just due to the finished product, thanks!
I want to buy it... but where i don't know
What if you are reaming or swaging a vertical pipe that you can't make it face downward position lets say if you are working on an equipment and want to change a big filter dryer you cut the 0ipe but you have to do it on vertical neither you can blow it out with nitrogen since it's big tube. ???
Shove a piece of foam insulation down into the tube, deburr as usual. Use needle nose pliers to remove the insulation plug with the shards on top of it.
