Flaring tools are crucial in industries that require leak-proof, high-pressure tubing connections. When working with PFA and FEP tubing in industrial and fluid-handling environments, precision flaring ensures leak-proof, high-performance connections. Crist Group’s hot flaring mandrels are specifically designed for this purpose—offering ergonomic, durable, and easy-to-use solutions.
Poorly flared tubes lead to leaks, inefficiencies, and costly system failures. That’s why Crist Group offers high-performance flaring tools designed for accuracy, durability, and ease of use.
What Crist Group Offers
Hot Flaring Mandrels for PFA and FEP Tubing
Crist Group offers hot flaring mandrels designed for use with fluoropolymer tubing—including PFA and FEP. These tools feature:
- Ergonomic handles for portable use or optional bench mounting
- Compatibility with tubing sizes from ¼” to 1
- A full-size kit (¼”, ⅜”, ½”, ¾”, and 1″) or individual size purchase
- Simple insertion of preheated tubing for reliable flares
- Each mandrel comes with a handle, offering flexibility across applications.
Eddy Heat Guns
To support the flaring process, Crist Group also offers Eddy-brand heat guns. Known for their extended lifespan, they are the preferred choice in this price range.
Hand Flare Tools
Crist Group now offers hand flare tools identical to the popular models formerly produced by Fit-Line, which were discontinued earlier this year. These tools remain in high demand across the industry for their reliability and ease of use. Designed for quick, manual flaring after tubing is heated, they provide an efficient solution for achieving a clean, stretched flare.
