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.

Features
- Ready-to-install flared tube end is complete in three easy steps: heat, clamp, and flare.
- Five mandrel sizes are built into the fixture—no loose mandrels to misplace or damage.
- Flared end is “cool to the touch” at the end of the cycle—no additional cool down time is required.
- Flaring process takes about a minute; flared tube can be used immediately or stored for later use.
- Controlled process minimizes post-forming shrinkage to ensure accurate, repeatable results
- Finished tube flare matches the nose geometry of the fitting promoting excellent sealing performance at assembly.
