Features and functionalities

Precise flaring below 45°

The CT-525 tool is designed to form a 45° tapered pipe end. This is an important step in preparing copper pipes for connection in air conditioning and refrigeration systems.

Suitable for various pipe sizes

The model works with pipes with an outer diameter of 3/16" to 5/8" and 5–16 mm. The adjustable opening of the holder allows for convenient positioning and fixing of the pipe according to the specific size.

Stable fixation during operation

The pipe holder and clamping screw help to provide a secure grip during flaring. This makes it easier to control the process and helps to achieve a uniformly shaped end.
