Westward 3CYT7 Flaring and Cutting Set

The Westward 3CYT7 is an eight-piece flaring and tubing cutter kit designed for shaping aluminum, brass and copper tubing. It handles outside diameters from .125 in to 1.125 in and produces a double 45-degree flare on seven standard sizes ranging from 3/16 in to 5/8 in. A fold-away reamer and a spare cutter are included inside the supplied case.

Who this suits and who should look elsewhere

Plumbers, HVAC technicians and automotive specialists who need reliable double flares on soft-metal tubing will find the capacity range and included sizes practical. Buyers who work exclusively with stainless steel, hardened alloys or tubing larger than 1.125 in should look at heavy-duty hydraulic alternatives instead.

Installation ease and common pitfalls

The set requires only a wrench to secure the die blocks and the yoke, so assembly is straightforward on a bench or in the field. The most frequent issue is splitting the tube when the flare is forced too quickly; using the reamer to deburr the cut end and advancing the cone in small increments prevents that problem.

Questions about this item

What tubing sizes can I flare with the 45° double-flare adapters included in this Westward 3CYT7 set?

The kit provides double 45° flare adapters for 3/16 in, 1/4 in, 5/16 in, 3/8 in, 7/16 in, 1/2 in and 5/8 in tubing.

Will the cutter handle the 1.125 in copper line I already have in the shop?

Yes, the cutter’s maximum capacity is 1.125 in, so it will cut copper, aluminium and brass up to that diameter.

How do I verify the flares are seating correctly after I assemble a joint?

Check that each flare forms an even 45° double flare without cracks, then pressure-test the completed joint for leaks.
