Catalog Number - 45099-002

The 45099‑002 Flanging Tool Kit (“Flangy the Tool”) is a complete tubing preparation and connection system designed for cold flanging polymer tubing and assembling reliable low‑pressure chromatography connections. This expanded kit builds on the standard flanging system by including tubing connectors (nuts with PP rings), enabling users to go from tubing preparation to final installation in a single workflow.

Unlike heat‑based flaring methods, this tool uses a mechanical (cold‑forming) process to create tubing flanges. This produces stronger, longer‑lasting, and more dimensionally stable flares, reducing the likelihood of deformation and ensuring consistent sealing performance over time.

The kit includes everything required to cut, flange, and connect polymer tubing, making it ideal for laboratories that want a complete, standardized tubing preparation solution.
