Product Information

Full details

The Facom Flare Nut Spanner (19x22mm) is a specialized hand tool engineered for automotive technicians, plumbers, and hydraulic system engineers who require high-torque precision without damaging delicate fasteners. Its standout benefit is the 6-point, open-ended design that grips nuts securely to prevent rounding, though users should note that the specialized head geometry is strictly designed for flare nuts and is not a replacement for standard hex wrenches for general bolt removal.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I use this for standard hex bolts?

While it may fit, this tool is specifically optimized for flare nuts. It is not intended for high-torque removal of standard bolts where a full box-end wrench would be safer.

Is this tool suitable for stainless steel flare nuts?

Yes, its precision design is ideal for stainless steel fittings which are often softer and more prone to rounding than standard steel.

What is the total length of this tool?

This specific 19x22mm model is 230mm in length.

How do I clean my Facom spanner?

Simply wipe it down with a shop towel. For stubborn oil or grime, use a mild degreaser, then dry and oil lightly.

Does the 15-degree angle help in all positions?

The angle helps significantly in cramped areas by allowing you to flip the tool to get a fresh grip on the nut after each partial turn.

Troubleshooting

Spanner feels loose on the fastener

Verify that you are using the correct metric size and that the flare nut is not already severely deformed from previous use.

Difficulty reaching the nut in tight spaces

Rotate the spanner 180 degrees to utilize the 15-degree angled head, which may provide a better approach angle.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly reduces risk of rounding off fasteners
  • Durable satin chrome finish for long-term use
  • Compact 230mm length balances leverage and maneuverability
  • Excellent for narrow, high-pressure line access

Cons

  • Not suitable for high-clearance standard hex bolts
  • Limited to specific metric flare nut applications
  • Requires careful orientation to engage the open head correctly

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Facom spanner, always verify the size of the fastener before use to prevent any movement within the jaw. The tool is designed for manual operation; avoid using cheater pipes or impact guns as these can compromise the tool's calibrated structure. For maintenance, keep the tool free of heavy grit or metal shavings. After working in wet or corrosive environments, wipe the spanner down with a clean, dry rag. Periodically applying a light machine oil can help preserve the satin chrome finish against workshop moisture. Store the tool in a dry tool chest or hanging rack to prevent it from knocking against other hardened steel tools.
