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.

Specifications Power Requirements Heat Source Dimensions  Programmable Electronic Control Ranges: •  Temperature •  Heat Time •  Cooling Time Tubing Size Range

110 V (ac), 60 Hz Radial conduction 14 W × 16.9 L × 10.5 H in. (356 × 430 × 267 mm) 100 to 300°C (212 to 572°F) 10 to 100 seconds 10 to 100 seconds 1/4 to 1 in.

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 make-up
• Shipped fully assembled in a heavy-duty, custom case for ease of storage and transport.
• Power cord and instruction manual are included.
