STEP 3: FLARE PIPE ENDS
Proper flaring is essential to achieve an airtight seal.
1. After removing burrs from cut pipe, seal the ends with PVC tape to prevent foreign materials from
entering the pipe.
2. Sheath pipe with insulating material.
3. Place flare nuts on both ends of the pipe. Make sure they are facing in the right direction as you
cannot change their orientation after flaring.
4. Remove PVC tape from ends of pipe when ready to perform flaring.
5. Clamp flare form on the end of pipe. The end of the pipe must extend beyond the edge of the flare
form in accordance with the pipe extension table.
