Draper Expert Brake Pipe Flaring Turret Kit

Produce precise, professional-quality brake pipe flares with the Draper Expert Brake Pipe Flaring Turret Kit (BPF/PRO/TURRET). Designed for workshops and skilled DIY mechanics carrying out brake pipe repair and fabrication, this comprehensive kit handles all three principal flaring standards – SAE convex, SAE double, and DIN convex – across a wide range of pipe diameters, all from a single bench-mounted, rotating turret tool.

Three Flaring Standards in One Professional Kit

Brake pipe flaring requirements vary by vehicle manufacturer and region, and using the wrong flare type can result in leaks or fitting failure with serious safety consequences. The BPF/PRO/TURRET covers all the bases:

SAE Convex (Single) Flaring: 3/16", 1/4", 5/16", 3/8" and 8mm

SAE Double Flaring: 3/16", 1/4", 5/16", 3/8", 4.75mm and 8mm

DIN Convex Flaring: 4.75mm and 8mm

This breadth of coverage ensures the kit is suitable for the full range of brake pipe sizes and flare types found on European, American, and Japanese vehicles – making it a genuinely universal solution for brake pipe fabrication and repair.

Rotating Turret Selector for Fast, Accurate Punch Selection

The standout feature of this kit is its rotating turret selector, which brings the correct punch into position quickly and precisely without the need to remove and refit individual components. Simply rotate the turret to the required punch size, lock it in position, and work – a significant time-saver compared to conventional flaring tools that require manual punch changes between operations. The turret design also reduces the risk of using the wrong punch size, contributing to a more accurate and consistent flare every time.

Bench Vice Mounting for Secure, Accurate Operation

The BPF/PRO/TURRET is designed to mount directly in a bench vice, providing the stable, rigid platform essential for producing accurate, consistent flares. A securely mounted tool eliminates movement during the flaring operation, ensuring the pipe is formed correctly and the flare is concentric and leak-free. This bench vice compatibility makes the tool suitable for both workshop fabrication benches and portable workbenches.

Four Interchangeable Split Die Sets for Rapid Setup

Included in the kit are four interchangeable split die sets that allow rapid configuration for different pipe diameters. The split die design clamps the brake pipe firmly and consistently, holding it at the precise depth required for each flare type. Quick changeover between die sets minimises setup time, keeping the workflow moving efficiently even when switching between different pipe sizes and flare standards.

Performs Single and Double Flares

The BPF/PRO/TURRET handles both single (convex) and double flaring operations. Double flaring – required by SAE standards on many American and Japanese vehicles – produces a stronger, more robust flare than a single flare by folding the pipe material back on itself. Having this capability built into a single tool makes the BPF/PRO/TURRET suitable for an exceptionally wide range of brake pipe repair and fabrication tasks.

Supplied in a Blow-Mould Carry Case

The complete kit is display packed in a blow-moulded carry case, keeping all dies, punches, and components organised, protected, and easy to locate when needed.

Why Choose the Draper Expert BPF/PRO/TURRET?

Brake pipe flaring is a safety-critical operation – an incorrectly formed flare can fail under braking pressure with potentially catastrophic consequences. The BPF/PRO/TURRET removes the guesswork and inconsistency from the process with a bench-mounted, turret-driven design that produces accurate, repeatable flares across all three major flaring standards. For independent workshops, fast-fit centres, and specialist brake and exhaust specialists, this kit replaces several single-purpose tools with one comprehensive, professionally specified solution. Backed by the Draper Expert name and supplied in a protective carry case, it represents an outstanding investment in brake pipe repair and fabrication capability.
