What do they mean "close-to-flare" cut? I don't want any flaring on the ends of my pipes; that would prevent fittings from...well...fitting!

I retract my previous answer. I thought you were asking about the Rigid de-burring tool I just bought. I have no idea what they mean by "close to flare" but I own this tubing cutter and it works better than any other close quarter cutter I have ever used.

I don't know what they mean by that either. But these cutters do not flare the ends of your pipe
371628
Its notched so you can cut the flare off close to the end. Thats my take. Great cutter.

The tool does not flare the ends of the pipe after cut. It cuts the pipe cleanly but leaves a very faint interior "lip" due to the tool pushing the metal inward.

One of the wheels has a squared notched cut into it. In the case of having to cut off a flared pipe the flare fits into the squared notch and you can make your cut right next to the flare for minimal waste. This can be a life saver if you haven't got much length to spare as you can cut off just the flared section. In the case of a damaged flare with no pipe length to spare this is a must have feature.

That phrase would apply if your pipes had a flare. Since you don't, feel free to ignore it

Depends on how hard you work at it. If you twist the tool long enough, you will cut a 45 degree bevel on the inside of the pipe but there is no need to do that. The burrs are gone 15 to 20 seconds. Would take 1 to 2 minutes to cut the bevel.

The fitting for this unit is on the side or can be routed from the back. The n.g. Line is wherever you want to run it. Depending on code black pipe is usually used with an approved shutoff valve and then a flex gas line to the shut off valve. It is a simple installation for anyone with minimal plumbing experience is a good handyman.

Some argue that filters create a bit of distortion, especially flare. While I've found this to be true with cheap filters, I find these B and W to be great protection with at least no "field relevant" distortions, meaning if you put then through a rigorous "lab" like test, you might prove they cause some flare, but I have never noticed a difference with the filters on or off. These are great filters..

You're quite right NOT to pinch the cable. You can use a tapered round file to file a small semi-circular hole in the fixture close to where you want the cable to exit. That shouldn't damage anything and shouldn't be visible. In my situation the siding has channels so the cable had a natural pathway. Hope this is helpful.

I put a 1/2" male pipe thread to 1/2" flare 90 on my output to use flare fittings on copper and 3/8 male pipe thread fitting for input from compressor but Teflon tape will not workyou must use some type of liquid I also reap position and the mounting feet so I could mount the tank on the side of my frame rails and the bottom of the tank would be still bottom

Hello Sue,Just fancy plumbing talk. It means they just have a standard 1/2'' connection.Our shower heads come with our standard flange, but you could use another if you wish.Thanks,Zoe Industries

This is not a compression fitting. The nipple that goes into the female end should be flat on the end with a slightly thicker side wall than a flared or conical fitting as it needs to seat with the flat inside of the female end. Hope this helps; ps you can also email Mr. Heater for tech help.

WE purchased a 6" piece of duct in the heating department at homedepot, we also picked up a reducer from 6" to 4" which allowed us to use the venting for a dryder. But we had a good 12feet until the outside of the house, so we only attached the 4" at the end 2 feet. Now for me the opening on this unit was a little under 6" so I had to use tech screws to attach it along with some duct tape. If you use a reducer - Do Not use it right at the beginning. The fan will sound obnoxiously loud and you will be unhappy, trust me. Reduce as close to the outside only if you have to. This exhaust was used for a basement and I needed a side vent.

Exhaust end. this is important to keep the possiblity of moisture away from a hot light bulb.

I don't know. You do have to be sure to get the right ones - flared v. non-flared. I ordered the wrong ones first, & since I'm none to familiar with such things, I called the dealer to be sure I reordered correctly. The gentleman was very pleasant & helpful & made sure I got what I needed.

I have only used it for R410a but the looks like standard flaring tool only ends are round and consistant.

I agree with John's answer, you can cut with out any spacers (just be careful) and this will give you a close cut.

It's not too stiff and should be cut to length with tin snips. Best to not have an more bends in the pipe than necessary due to lint build-up in the bends.

Makes sense to me. As with any dryer vent, the shorter the duct, the straighter the run, the better the flow. Also, use straight duct and elbows. Better than flex duct.

no, this tool flairs 37 degrees only, 37 degrees is used on A N fittings, you need a flaring tool kit that makes 45 degree flares to make a double flare.

3/4" connections used to unit. Check local codes. I used 3/4" piping throughout . Flex can only be used for connections under 36". Distance from source shouldn't matter, pressure should be the same. Use hard pipe.

No. You would have to remove the flares or cut them. They won't fit under them.
