Description

FlareMate seals are specifically developed for 45° SAE flare

fittings used in the HVAC/R Industry. FlareMate provides

a long term, leak-free connection on new installations or

to correct small flare fitting leaks with existing systems in

service.

FlareMate uses a special multi-ring design that provides

multiple concentric seal points along the length of the flare

mating surface. The formed copper seal is coated with a

baked on, dry to the touch sealant specifically selected

for refrigerants and lubricant duty. The combination of the

seal design and its coated sealant layer compensate for

scratches in the sealing surface and minor misalignment

issues between the male and female flare.

FlareMate is available in common 1/4” thru 3/4” flare sizes

and handy packaging options. FlareMate is sold in various

billable four pc. mini-split packs, 10 pc. packs and a

combo pack for any service truck need.

Application

Flare fittings are commonly used in the HVAC/R market for

mini-split/VRF systems, refrigeration components, high/low

pressure controls, pilot lines, and other applications. Leaks

can originate from flare surface imperfections, connector

misalignment, thread galling, vibration, pulsation and

ongoing large temperature fluctuations. FlareMate seals

vastly improve the integrity of any flare assembly and result

in a confident, long term leak-free connection.

Directions 1. Remove any debris from the male and female flare seal surfaces before assembly. 2. If addressing a leaking flare connection, ensure the flare fitting does not have excessive damage or cracks in the fitting. If so, replace fitting. If not, proceed to step #3. 3. Clip the FlareMate seal evenly on to the male flare fitting. 4. Tighten to the recommended torque value provided by the OEM or the guidelines below. DO NOT overtighten the flare fitting.
