TruTech Tools offers a full range of tubing tools for HVAC, refrigeration, and plumbing applications. This category includes benders, flaring and swaging tools, tubing cutters, deburring instruments, press tools with jaws and fittings, brazing equipment, and tubing tool kits. Each tool is designed to create accurate bends, clean cuts, and leak-resistant connections in copper, aluminum, and other soft metals. Using the right combination of these ensures efficient installations, reliable repairs, and proper tube preparation. Complete kits make it easy to have all essential tools on hand for installation, service, and repairs.
What are tubing benders used for?
Tubing benders allow technicians to form smooth, consistent bends without kinking or flattening the tubing. Proper bending reduces the need for fittings, minimizes pressure drop, and helps maintain system reliability.
When should flaring tools be used?
Flaring tools are used to create a 45° flare at the end of tubing for use with flare fittings. This produces a mechanical, leak-resistant connection commonly found in refrigerant lines, service valves, and split system installations.
What is the purpose of swaging tubing?
Swaging expands the end of a tube so another tube can be inserted directly for brazing or soldering. This creates a properly sized joint without additional fittings, improving strength, alignment, and flow characteristics.
Why is a proper tubing cutter important?
Tubing cutters produce clean, square cuts that help ensure proper fitting alignment and strong brazed or flared joints. Clean cuts also reduce burrs that could restrict flow or damage internal system components.
Are these tubing tools specific to HVAC applications?
While commonly used in HVAC and refrigeration work, tubing benders, flaring tools, swaging tools, and cutters are also used in plumbing and mechanical systems wherever soft metal tubing requires precise shaping and joining.
