How To Get PERFECT Flares For Ductless Mini Splits | Navac Powered Flaring Tool!
ฝัง

- When it comes to flare connections on HVAC units, it’s very important to follow a good process and to have the right tools. In this video, I show my process on how to get perfect, leak free flare connections using the Navac cordless power flaring tool. With ductless mini split units becoming more and more popular in North America, the need for a flaring tool that offers accurate and consistent flaring has become necessary for proper equipment installations. I have always used a flaring block in the past and never really felt confident with the tool, that is no longer an issue for me. I highly recommend this tool!

Been in the field about 3.5 years and watching you motivates me to get better every day! Great tools as well.
That’s awesome! Thx for sharing!
He motivates me also and im in the bahamas where guys get away with alot of mess but im making it my business to better myself
I have more than 30 years of experience in setting up and maintaining all of the refrigeration equipment, but I admire the tools u use. They are really good
I really like the way how you run through your set line and power cable in that pipe. Looks great and super good way to protect them.
That does make a sexy looking flare.. However I'll take my spin flares at a fraction of the costs.
I need this tool but from Milwaukee;)
In 12 and 18v
I like how you don't just got your linesets come threw just a piece of pvc, you also got those two 90°'s so no water gets in 👍👍!
Really quality hvac work, can’t get any better than this
I like and I watch your all videos , keep it up
очень грамотный подход, редко встретишь на ютубе профессионала лайк. Я тоже кондиционерщик.
Interesting to see how US guys are doing things, in the UK my block has a fitting to attach to my cordless if I need or feel like it. Seems more cost effective, just my opinion
What brand of tool are speaking of? I’ve never seen something with a design like that(being a US hvac tech)
Those are some nice looking Line Sets dude. I don't think I've ever seen a set of lines run that neatly before.
Love the content i like the way you go in depth with everything do you have any content on hooking up a ductless blower to a central air condenser
I do flaring a lot since I install mini splits a lot. This will save a lot of time.. wow just wow. Navac is on next level mann
No doubt! An extreme time saver.
Such a sharp tech! thank you for the amazing vids, I'm in school right now at a technical college near me and your videos are amazing! you explain it almost better than the instructor LOL seriously though, thanks for the vids and constant updates in the field and actually being honest about it .
Great video man! The NAVAC product is definitely a good investment
The Spin Flair is a great tool as well. Navac is pretty innovative.
That looks awesome, its actually using the flare nut as a shaping surface.
Just started using this tool. I love it. Thanks for the video
i was more focus on how the stub out with the 4 inch pvc pipe. Never seen that.
Will try that thanks
Tools are making our work easy and pretty flares really awsm nic work by a professional man see u around
Game changer I’ll be looking out for this tool for sure
Check out your local Trane supply or online at trutechtools.com Use promo code “outlawz” to save yourself 8%.
Very nice job excellent tool
Nice clean work! To bad you didnt show us how much fun it is running the mini split lineset through the pvc ;) much easier with the pvc fittings not connected ( yes I know ) lol awesome tool! Seen this recently at the local trane dealer and inquired about it I'm using a hilmar kit currently might upgrade soon though
You won’t be disappointed.
Nice tools sir
We do the same with our packouts and also get the foam from kaizen, Works great!
I love them a little too much...
Nice work! Love the attention to detail.
I appreciate that!
Absolutely love that kit you made. If you build me one, I’m a buying. ✅
Nice install dude looks good
Thank you!
Good bud and tool but I wanted to share with you that I’ve been taught NOT to put any lubricant on the threads as it can change the torque, so it over tightens
Check out the spin f6000 drill bit flaring tool. So much easier. Ive done a hundred installs and haven't had a leak yet. It flares and deburs it in seconds with only a tiny little bit that you pop into your drill. I think it costs 80 or 90 dollars. It's not a bad price you should check it out
Nice work, remember to release the spring on your tq wrench to keep it in spec. Also what boots do you wear? Redwings?
Very good tip, thank you. I’m rocking the Northern Tool boots.
Awesome Tools and Hvac Tech =AWESOME JOB!! 👍👍
You’re too kind!
There is actually a benefit to have that come cockeyed. It's an upgraded feature. This tool looks.prettynsweet though.
PHENOMENAL!!!!! Love the shirt too.
Great vid 👌
Sweet set up
Thx!
Interesante, algunas veces un mal FLARE puede ser un dolor de cabeza.
Would be nice to be like the pro press tool where its automatic..I can see that wearing out due to over using the forward or reverse. Good idea..if you do flare fittings all day.
I use my hand operated flare with a tapered cone no reeming required I bet I could do that faster .no mess no fuss and way cheer and reliable. No need for another battery to charge and I can fit tool in my pouch.
I would recommend this for rookies lol
Good process!
Keep them coming dude.
Good video as always. Just curious about your pressure test process. As the system is no doubt R410A, shouldn't your pressure test be higher? Here in UK we test to 1.1 X max working pressure.
You are correct. After reading the manual, it states to pressure test at 500 psig. Going forward that’s what I’ll test at. I’m bad at remembering to read the manual sometimes...Thx for pointing that out.
Quality HVACR No problem. We’re moving to R32 in uk which means we have to buy all recovery units, vac pumps and gauges as R32 is flammable. Bring back good old R22 I say!!
Make sure to look at the pressure difference on the king valves. With Mitsubishi, too much nitrogen pressure and it can leak past the king valves. If you have a leak, it’s not going to hold pressure.
Enjoying the videos! Hope to see you around someday, we work in the same area.
that is freakin awesome! what a great tool!
Hi, is there an electric tool to flare iron pipe. All i see you guys flare with these tool is copper.
Saludos de madrid España good quality work
How’s the Gree brand working out?
I will take Mitsus over Fujitsu or Gree any day.
Mitsubishi is now under the Trane umbrella..
Supply House says this tool was discontinued by the manufacturer April 28, 2021
Local Home Depot sells Gree mini splits to anyone with accy separate, linset, covers etc.
And I wish they didn't. Because if they ever break, getting parts is next to impossible. However Pioneer and Senville, seem to back their units up with parts availability.
I enjoyed the killer toys
unless you're doing 100 of those a day i don't see the point of carrying that big case and going through all that,my yellow jacket 60278 has all sizes built in and it fits in my pocket and yes you do get a factory flare every time with it as well
Now we going to hall another sets of tools around, only if you are doing minis. However, making your own flares let's you do it faster and cheaper.
Nice video

We don't know when or if this item will be back in stock.
I got this from amazon!!
Badass....
Been looking into hydraulic swaging tool..
Being i have a bad arm..
Any suggestions? On hydraulic swaging tool brands ?
Appreciate your unbiased opinion on quality and experience.
I haven’t used any hydraulic swaging tools yet, but I’ve heard good things about Navac’s offering. I plan to pick one up myself.
@@QualityHVACR
Thank you..
I heard good stuff about hilmor also..just undecided.
Thank you.

The NAVAC hydraulic tube expander is fantastic, it is vaccum sealed and releases easily. Others are not vacuum sealed and the release can be tough
Cool tool but I personally would have a hard time justifying $700. Maybe I do not do enough flaring but I have not had issues with the spin flare kit. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome. Ty
Great job and nice set up you have. Are those 4x4’s that the unit sets on anchored to the roof or does it just set on the roof, thanks.
Based on my experience, I would have to say it's not anchored through the protective roof flashing unless it was required by his local code inspector.
Thank you! There are not anchored to the roof.
Damm was hoping to see the vacuum set up
That’ll be in another video.
@@QualityHVACR 👌💪🏽
I've made perfect flares and forgot to put nuts on first aswell.
What's the torque wrench u are using I like the compact size with the crow's feet. Also have you thought about maybe purchasing the evacuation measuring system from Navac nrc62d
I linked the torque wrench set in the description.
I want that tool but its sold out everywhere ;(
Send me a T-shirt or hat !!! Your awesome man 🤘
Excelente video saludos
I will suggest u to buy the pad for your knees
I agree. If you do this long enough, you'll regret not using knee pads. My dad's knees are a mess from decades of installing flooring.
Never heard of Gree
What are some good hvac apps
How much you invested in tools and HVAC equipment. I don't see you missing much.
to good nice job
Great work bro with the fancy tools . I have to many tools already . Making a flare is basic stuff and a good mechanic makes hundreds. The torque wrench is cool but not nessesary . I would recommend these tools for my wife lol. Been a commercial mechanic for 30 years. Maybe I am old school but a guy has to learn what tight enough is and how to make a flare that tool may not fit in all locations. We have to watch we don't become toolaholics. Lol keep up the good work.
Nice looking install!!!! How are you liking GREE mini splits? The company I work uses Fujitsu and I really like them. I would love to get my hands on one of those NAVAC flaring tools. Do you have the battery operated pump as well?
Thank you! The Gree units are pretty solid, they actually manufacture most ductless units for other brands. Yes I have the Navac 2cfm battery operated vacuum pump and love it.
@@QualityHVACR Seems like if you are a dealer of them, it will work out, because getting parts for them seems to be difficult otherwise. I'm going Senville or Pioneer because well, I'm not currently employed with a contractor.
What is your opinion on zoom lock press fittings?
Don't trust the marketing wank, replaced a lot of bad jobs with them
Seems like a lot of steps or just as many as my Hilmor quick engage. Neat tool but not sure I'd ever want to invest in it.
How price
The tool should have some kind of reminder for having the nut on first.
We have all done a lot of work and realized that the nut is off.
Thank u
you the best mi frend mi name es hector frond honduras tku
Is it normal for an lg mini split to keep starting and stopping in heat mode?
What exactly do you mean by starting and stopping
I aready suscribe to your channel
Sir how much cost in india
Sand me
I get these direct from PRC half-off. Ping me if interested.
Nice tool but Zoom lock makes flaring obsolete.
Nylog lol I've never used that shit, if you make a proper flare you don't need that crap.
😎🍻🍺
Sweet tool but for $800 unless your flaring multiple things all the time its hard to justify
Not sure where you got that price but, checkout trutechtools.com (currently at $500).
@@QualityHVACR i clicked on the link in your video description which brought me to Amazon
Thx for letting me know. I’ll change the link.
@@QualityHVACR yeah no problem
am I the only real man which would rather use a regular flare tool was gunna buy one of these but I can do flares faster then changing those clips in and out, stupid tool if u ask me
Yea not for that price.
Kool tool... i dont agree with chinese mini splits... china is not exactly known for quality....
I just want to see you fix stuff or install stuff, so I'm out. Sorry man.
Technically I was installing stuff...but I get it. Thx for watching.
