Facom Refrigeration Flanging Tool Fractional Die Set (239.MU) - this die set is available as an add-on to the full 239 Metric flanging tool set. Does not include the press or case. Click on photos to enlarge
- Capacity - pipes from 3/8"-5/8" in diameter
- Ability to produce flanges tapered at 45°, at the end of copper pipes without annealing the metal
The FACOM 239.MU is a professional-grade refrigeration pipe flanging and flaring tool equipped with a fractional (inch) die block. It is specifically engineered for automotive, HVAC, and industrial cooling applications to create highly precise 45-degree conical flares at the ends of copper pipes without needing to anneal or heat-treat the metal. Unlike the standard metric 239 model, the 239.MU configuration features an SAE fractional multi-bore die block to service Imperial system line sets commonly found in air conditioning and refrigeration systems.
- Measurement Standard: SAE Fractional / Inch sizes
- Pipe Capacity Range: 3/16" to 5/8" diameter
- Supported Die Diameters: 3/16" - 1/4" - 5/16" - 3/8" - 7/16" - 1/2" - 5/8"
- Flare Profile: Conical collar tapered at exactly 45°
- Drive Mechanism: High-torque metal T-handle yoke for smooth, controlled flare compression
- Target Materials: Soft copper, aluminum, and mild metal tubing
- Storage Components: Typically housed inside a protective FACOM BP.115 heavy-duty plastic storage case (Dimensions: 332 x 143 x 67 mm).
