Automotive Inline Bubble - Cal-van Tools

The Cal-van Tools Model 156 Automotive Inline Bubble Flare Tool is engineered for professional technicians requiring precise bubble (DIN/ISO) flares on 4.75mm, 6mm, and 8mm soft steel or copper tubing. Its innovative inline and low-profile design ensures factory-quality results, optimizing performance in tight access areas and allowing for convenient on-vehicle or off-vehicle use. This professional-grade tool provides consistent, leak-free connections essential for critical automotive and industrial fluid line applications.

Key Features

• Multi-Size Tubing Compatibility: Precisely forms bubble (DIN/ISO) flares on 4.75mm, 6mm, and 8mm soft steel or copper tubing, catering to a wide range of automotive and industrial applications.
• Inline & Low-Profile Design: Facilitates the creation of accurate, factory-grade bubble flares, ideal for confined workspaces and versatile use on or off the vehicle.
• Ratchet-Ready Operation: Designed for integration with a ratchet, enhancing leverage and making the flaring process significantly easier and more efficient for technicians.
• Secure Tubing Clamping: Features bars that directly clamp over the tubing, preventing slippage or push-through to ensure a stable and consistent flaring operation.
• Symmetrical Flare Precision: The robust clamp and hex sleeve system work in conjunction to produce perfectly symmetrical and concentric flares, critical for reliable, leak-free seals.
• Innovative Design & Storage: Features a patent-pending design for a unique flaring solution and includes an easy-store case for organization and protection.

Applications

This specialized flaring tool is indispensable for creating robust, leak-proof bubble flares during essential tasks such as brake line repairs, fuel line maintenance, and custom hydraulic and pneumatic system fabrication. Its ability to produce DIN/ISO standard flares makes it particularly valuable for servicing European vehicles, as well as other automotive and industrial systems utilizing this flare type.
