Claims10
A fitting repair tool, comprising:
- a body having a first extension, a second extension, a third extension, and a fourth extension that are oriented into a cross-configuration, the first extension includes a first end, the second extension includes a second end, the third extension includes a third end, the fourth extension includes a fourth end, the first end includes a first protrusion having a first concave surface to fit over a male flare fitting to fix or repair the male flare fitting, the third end includes a third protrusion extending from the third end with a proximal portion and a distal portion, and the fourth extension includes a fourth protrusion is sized with a smaller diameter then the third protrusion;
- a first tubular section extending from the first end of the first extension, the first tubular section includes a first surface that defines a first cavity;
- and
- a second tubular section extending from the second end of the second extension, the second tubular section having a different diameter than the first tubular section, the second end includes a second protrusion that extends within the second tubular section;
- wherein the second protrusion includes a second concave surface to fit over the male flare fitting to clean or fix a first convex surface of the male flare fitting;
- wherein the distal portion of the third end includes the first convex surface to receive a portion of a female flare fitting;
- wherein the proximal portion of the third protrusion includes a first threaded surface;
- wherein the fourth protrusion extends between a proximal portion and a distal portion of the fourth end;
- wherein the proximal portion of the fourth protrusion includes a second threaded surface;
- wherein the second threaded surface is cut or form a plurality of female threads in a first female fitting by tapping;
- wherein the distal portion of the fourth end includes a second convex surface receives a portion of the female flare fitting;
- wherein the first cavity receives a portion of a male fitting;
- wherein the first surface includes first threads engage the male fitting to fix or form a plurality of male threads on the male fitting;
- and
- wherein the second tubular section includes a second surface that defines a second cavity to receive a portion of the male fitting.
