Facom 70A Series Ratcheting Flare Nut Wrench-30mm (1 3/16")(New Lower Pricing!)......ratchet action without wrench removal makes this a great tool for use in tight spots and when working with hydraulic, plumbing, refrigeration or HVAC unions. Allows the user to safely tighten line-set fittings without slipping or damage. I personally hate when contractors use water pump pliers or adjustable wrenches to gouge and round the ends of my fittings, especially when working with copper or brass. With a flare wrench (ratcheting or otherwise), torque is applied over all of the fastener flats for optimum drive.
- Metric sizes available from 8 to 32mm
- 6pt heads up to 11mm

Applications Notes - this size works great for...
- Tightening Pex connections to manifolds in radiant heating installations (check your mfg's fittings before ordering...photo above is with Embassy brand Pex & manifolds).
- FIP connections on 3/4" ID Falcon Stainless corrugated water hoses
- BMW and European car air conditioning unions (much better than using an open end wrench).
