REFLARE TOOL AND PROCESS A flaring body (220) has first and second opposing ends (235,240). A perimeter surface (242) intersects the 5 first end (235), and a flaring surface (245) is located between the perimeter surface (242) and the second end (240). The perimeter surface (242) has a first cross sectional profile (250) with a first area, and the flaring surface (245) having a second cross-sectional profile (255) 10 with a second area less than the first area. The perimeter surface (242) and the flaring surface (245) are joined by an inside, rounded corner (246). A crimping body (330) has a top surface (232) and an opposing bottom surface (285), and an interior surface (260) that defines a passageway 15 (270) that connects said top and bottom surfaces (232,285). The interior surface (260) has a third cross-sectional profile with a third area larger than the first area. The flaring body (220) is slidably captureable in the passageway (270). The interior surface further has a 20 crimping channel that extends along at least a portion thereof and terminates at the bottom surface (285). 3167355_1:LKM r.A |
