what kind of oil do you use on the flaring tool cone when making copper tubing flaring for ac lines

Oils and refrigerant do not mix well. Risk contamination of system. If oil is used it must be removed completely prior to coupling.

I don't use oil every time, but when I do its is a lite weight oil and I wipe the flair clean.

I dipped my finger in the suction pump oil and put that on the flaring tool and it worked fine

it is a cutting edge, why would you use oil. the edge is replaceable although I have not had to as yet.

It depends on the kind of refrigerant you,re using in the system. Example: R-12, R-22 is best using Mineral Oil. R-134A, R-410A is best using a polyolester (POE) oil. Check your equipment for a label telling you what oil to use. Don't ever use a lineset that had Mineral Oil in it and add POE oil without completely flushing the lineset with something like RX-11. I always run a new lineset unless it isn't possible.

Hi, I sometimes use a 2hp 8gal 125psi compressor that I bought at Harbor Freight Tools. It seems to work well but I have to wait for it to catch up and always try to use the plasma cutter just before the compressor shuts off. I had to buy a high volume female fitting (Milton Brand) because I had problems with the regular cheaper female fitting sometimes not letting air through.

I used it with high viscosity oil. Not sure if there would be a spark concern.

yes I have a fieldpiece and a fluke just make sure the clamp is position correctly on the copper lines other wise you will get an incorrect temp.always reposition a couple of times it does work.

I purchased Watco Teak Oil at Lowes. It was highly recommended by a friend. It penetrated good and left a very nice finish. Hope this helps.

The air tool oil goes where you hook up the air. The grease goes in right under the anvil on the front of the gun, you will need to inject the grease.

I found oil in a squeeze bottle with a long flexible spout at Ace Hardware that worked great. No mess. Make sure you get the right grade oil for the fan. Info on oil grade is in the instruction papers that came with the fan or on line.

The sticker on my machine says to use- JASO FC or ISO EGC grade oil at a 50 to 1 mixture.

No, you need to go to a Lowes or Home Depot and purchase a tool for just stainless rings. If you are doing work inside in a dry area copper will work. Outside go stainless for sure. I bought the crimp tool for copper and sent it back based on the plumber advising me. He lent me his stainless crimper unit. Units are about the same at Amazon as are the stores. it is a great system to replace copper tubing. Enjoy.

As I recalled I used a standard 10w 30 oil. This demolition hammer always leaks a little oil when in use. This slight oil leak is normal. It is very important to check the oil level of the demolition Hammer and add oil as needed. Using the Demolition Hammer without oil will ruin the device beyond repair. I have had my Demolition Hammer for years and it has given me lots of use. The only thing I had to replace was the power cord. No big deal! This is an excellent tool and a great value. Good Luck.

I purchased Ameriflame to braze copper, but it has performed well in light welding. It has completely satisfiedall my brazing and welding needs. Good Luck

Thou shall oil thine air inlet daily with Air Tool Oil and Grease but once a month... Grease? Yes. The tiny ball bearing at the front of the gun, just beneath the anvil (where the 1/2" socket articulates to the tool) is a grease port that fits a "Mini" or "Needle" air tool grease gun. Just a dab will do before it back flows out of the port. Remember, you're greasing an air tool, not the ball joint of a semi truck. [The AIRCAT tools require the minimum standards below to keep your tool in good working condition. Grease/ Oil AIRCAT and NITROCAT Twin Hammer: Use Lithium or bearing grease. One pump every few weeks is all you need.} (quote from the Air Cat site). I hope you guys found this info helpful and remember, We Screw, We Nut, and We Bolt! :)

The manual says to use Shell #40 or Shell #15/40, but neither of those were available locally so I have used a good oil #10/40, and it works well and seems to keep the hammer running well.

We use Fellowes Powershred Performance Oil CRC35250 in the 12 oz. size. I think 3 in 1 might be too heavy.

Hobart 500559 Welder can use Flux Core wire or Solid wire. It comes with the gauges to connect to gas bottle for use with solid wire.
