Draper Expert Brake Pipe Flaring Slider Kit

Carry out precise, professional brake pipe flaring with the Draper Expert Brake Pipe Flaring Slider Kit (BPF/PRO/SLIDER). Designed for workshops and skilled home mechanics tackling brake pipe repair and fabrication, this bench-mounted kit handles SAE convex, SAE double, and DIN convex flaring across the most common brake pipe sizes – delivering accurate, consistent, and safety-critical flares every time.

Three Flaring Standards for Broad Compatibility

Correct flare type selection is essential in brake pipe work – the wrong flare standard can result in fitting failure and brake system leaks with serious safety implications. The BPF/PRO/SLIDER covers the key flaring standards needed for a wide range of European and American vehicles:

SAE Convex (Single) Flaring: 3/16"

SAE Double Flaring: 3/16" and 4.75mm

DIN Convex Flaring: 4.75mm

This focused selection covers the brake pipe sizes and flare types most commonly encountered in everyday brake pipe repair work, making the BPF/PRO/SLIDER an ideal choice for mechanics who need a reliable, accurate flaring solution without the full breadth of the turret kit.

Slider Design with Two Interchangeable Punch Holders

The BPF/PRO/SLIDER uses a slider mechanism with two interchangeable punch holders to select the correct forming punch for each flare type and pipe size. This straightforward, intuitive design makes switching between flare types quick and easy, reducing setup time between operations and keeping the workflow moving efficiently. The slider action positions the punch accurately and repeatably, contributing to consistent flare quality across every use.

Performs Both Single and Double Flares

The BPF/PRO/SLIDER is fully capable of producing both single (convex) and double flares – the latter being required by SAE standards on many American and Japanese vehicles, where the pipe material is folded back on itself to create a stronger, more robust joint. Having both capabilities in a single tool makes the BPF/PRO/SLIDER suitable for a broad range of brake pipe repair scenarios.

Bench Vice Mounting for Secure, Accurate Use

Like all serious flaring tools, the BPF/PRO/SLIDER is designed to mount securely in a bench vice, providing the rigid, stable platform essential for accurate flare formation. A stable tool means the pipe is held at the correct angle and depth throughout the operation, eliminating the movement that leads to off-centre or inconsistent flares. Suitable for workshop fabrication benches and portable workbenches alike.

Split Die Set for Rapid Setup

The kit includes one split die set that clamps the brake pipe firmly at the precise depth required for each flare type. The split die design ensures consistent pipe positioning every time, which is fundamental to producing a leak-free, correctly formed flare. Three sets of interchangeable forming blocks are also supplied for rapid configuration across different pipe sizes and flare standards.

Supplied in a Blow-Mould Carry Case

All components are display packed in a blow-moulded carry case, keeping everything organised, protected, and ready for use whenever the job demands it.

BPF/PRO/SLIDER vs BPF/PRO/TURRET – Which Kit Is Right for You?

The BPF/PRO/SLIDER is the ideal choice for mechanics who primarily work with the most common brake pipe sizes and need a precise, reliable flaring tool at a more accessible price point. For workshops requiring the full range of pipe sizes and flare standards, the BPF/PRO/TURRET offers maximum coverage.

Why Choose the Draper Expert BPF/PRO/SLIDER?

Brake pipe flaring is one of the most safety-critical fabrication tasks in automotive work – a poorly formed flare can fail under braking pressure with serious consequences. The BPF/PRO/SLIDER's bench vice mounting, slider punch selection mechanism, and split die clamping system work together to take the inconsistency out of the flaring process, producing accurate, repeatable results across the most commonly required pipe sizes and flare types. Backed by the Draper Expert name and supplied in a protective carry case, it is a dependable and well-specified tool for any workshop or home garage carrying out brake pipe repair and maintenance.
