Plastic Tube Flaring System—Model FTF 1000
The Swagelok Model FTF 1000 is a complete, easy-to-operate tool for precision flaring of 1/4, 3/8, 1/2, 3/4, and 1 in. plastic tubing. The self-contained fixtures align and support the tubing during the flaring process, while the electronic controls ensure accurate, uniform tubing flares. With a cycle time of approximately one minute, the plastic tube flaring system reduces installation time.
