CT-809A — Everwell 1/4 to 3/4 Inch OD Heavy Duty Eccentric Flaring Tool

Everwell CT-809A — 1/4 to 3/4 Inch OD Heavy Duty Eccentric Flaring Tool

The Everwell CT-809A is a heavy duty eccentric flaring tool that forms 45° SAE flares on 1/4, 3/8, 1/2, 5/8 and 3/4 inch OD copper tubing. Unlike a conventional flaring tool that presses a cone straight into the tube, the eccentric cone rolls around the tube wall as it advances, which work-hardens the flare less, needs far less handle force, and leaves a smoother sealing face that is less likely to split or leak.

Key features

• Flares 1/4″, 3/8″, 1/2″, 5/8″ and 3/4″ OD copper tubing
• Eccentric (off-centre) cone rolls the flare for a smoother, crack-resistant sealing face
• Noticeably lower handle effort than a straight-press flaring tool
• Thrust bearing under the T-handle for smooth advance
• Heavy duty black oxide finished body and bar
• Covers every common ductless mini-split line set size

Frequently asked questions

What does eccentric flaring mean?

The cone is mounted off-centre, so as the handle advances the cone orbits the tube and rolls the flare outward progressively rather than pressing it in one shot. That produces a smoother, more uniform flare with less operator effort and less risk of cracking the copper.

What tube sizes does the Everwell CT-809A flare?

1/4″, 3/8″, 1/2″, 5/8″ and 3/4″ OD — which covers every common ductless mini-split line set size.

Is an eccentric flaring tool better than a standard one?

For repeat professional work, generally yes. It takes less force, produces a more consistent sealing face, and reduces split flares on thin-wall tubing. A standard tool is fine for occasional use.

Does the CT-809A include a tube cutter or a case?

No. It is the flaring tool on its own. For a flare-plus-cutter bundle see the CT-1226AL, or the CT-275 for flaring plus swaging.

Safe use

Always de-pressurize and recover refrigerant from a system before cutting or flaring any line. Deburr and clean the tube end before flaring, and torque flare nuts to the equipment manufacturer’s published specification. Refrigerant work should be performed by an EPA Section 608 certified technician.
