In HVAC work, precision and speed are crucial, especially when creating secure, leak-proof flares. Traditional manual flaring can be slow, physically demanding, and prone to inconsistencies that often lead to costly rework. NAVAC, a premier HVAC tool company with over twenty years of experience, has tackled these challenges head-on by developing its BreakFree® Power Flaring Tools to help technicians work smarter, not harder.
Designed with input from HVAC professionals and engineered for real-world conditions, NAVAC’s tubing tools simplify critical tasks like flaring, tube expansion, and bending, saving time while delivering consistent, high-quality results.
Speed and Precision Where You Need It Most
The NEF6LM BreakFree® Power Flaring Tool redefines what it means to flare tubes quickly and accurately. Its ultra-lightweight design (under 3 pounds) drastically reduces the physical effort involved, helping technicians maintain precision even in awkward or overhead positions. One-button, one-hand operation means you can focus on controlling the flare without distraction.
The built-in LED indicators provide immediate feedback on flare completion, reducing the need for repeated checks. Plus, the integrated flashlight illuminates dim work areas, ensuring every flare is formed with confidence, regardless of lighting conditions. Designed to perform reliably in harsh environments, the NEF6LM helps HVAC pros cut flare time by a significant margin, eliminating common causes of flare failure like uneven pressure or fatigue-induced mistakes.
Equipped with five commonly sized flare dies, a premium flare gauge, a durable blow-molded case, and a long-lasting rechargeable lithium battery capable of over 100 flares per charge, this tool is optimized for both versatility and longevity on the job.
Simplifying Tube Expansion with Consistency
Tube expansion is an often overlooked step in HVAC installation. The NTE11L BreakFree® Power Tube Expander automates this task with impressive efficiency and consistency. By expanding tubing in just 12 seconds at the push of a button, it drastically reduces the time needed to prepare tubing for fitting.
What sets the NTE11L apart is not only speed but control. The tool applies uniform pressure every time, preventing common issues like over-expansion or cracking that can compromise the system’s seal. Its compatibility with hydraulic expander heads via an adapter broadens its functionality across different job requirements.
With a large lithium battery supporting up to 200 expansions per charge and a quick 30-minute recharge, HVAC professionals can rely on this expander to keep pace with demanding workflows. Battery power indicators and an LED flashlight further support uninterrupted work in varying conditions.
Effortless Bending for Large Diameter Tubing
Bending large diameter tubing by hand is physically taxing and risks damaging the tubing or creating inaccurate bends. The NTB7L BreakFree® Power Tube Bender transforms this laborious task with powered precision and ease. It supports tubing sizes from ¼ ” to ⅞ ” OD and enables smooth bends with just the press of a button.
The award winning design minimizes strain during use, while the patented tubing size selector lets you switch effortlessly between seven tubing sizes, eliminating the need for multiple tools. When a bend is complete, the automatic tube release pushes the tubing out, streamlining the process and preventing damage during removal.
Powered by a large lithium battery capable of over 100 bends per charge and a fast 30-minute recharge, this bender keeps technicians productive throughout long workdays. It also supports reverse bending with an optional kit for added versatility.
