Yellow Jacket 60440 Flare and Swage Kit

The Yellow Jacket 60440 is a heavy-duty HVAC flaring tool and copper tubing swaging kit designed for field technicians who demand precision-engineered refrigeration flared connections. This professional-grade 45 degree flaring kit features a self-centering slip-on steel yoke to ensure consistent alignment across nine tubing sizes. When swaging, the six interchangeable hardened alloy steel adapters are deeply knurled for secure placement, allowing for expanded tube ends that facilitate high-integrity brazed joints. Built to handle soft or annealed copper and similar thin-walled materials, the tool utilizes hardened, chrome-plated flaring bars and a long-handle feed screw for maximum leverage and smooth operation. Whether you are installing a mini-split or repairing a complex VRF system, this versatile kit eliminates the need for separate tools, combining two critical functions into a single, durable storage case to keep your service truck organized and efficient for high-pressure system requirements.

Common Questions About the Yellow Jacket 60440

What tubing sizes are compatible with the Yellow Jacket 60440?
This kit is engineered for small-to-medium residential and commercial tubing, covering nine flaring sizes and seven swaging sizes between 3/16" and 3/4" O.D.

Can this tool be used for 410A high-pressure systems?
Yes, the 45° single flare produced by this kit is the industry standard for refrigeration connections, provided the technician ensures the flare surface is clean and matches the fitting specifications.

Does the kit work on hard-drawn copper?
This tool is specifically designed for soft or annealed copper, aluminum, and similar materials. Hard-drawn copper must be properly annealed before flaring or swaging to prevent cracking.
