Collection: Flare Nut Spanners

Flare Nut Spanners, also known as Line Spanners or Brake Spanners, are specialised tools designed to grip hexagonal fasteners on pipes, tubing, and hydraulic fittings. Their unique open-sided ring design allows the spanner to slip over the pipe while still engaging most of the fastener head for a secure grip.

Key Characteristics:

  • Open-Sided Ring Design: Provides greater contact with the fastener compared to an open-end spanner, reducing the risk of rounding.

  • Specialised Use: Ideal for brake lines, fuel lines, and hydraulic fittings where standard spanners may not fit.

  • Durable Construction: Typically made from chrome vanadium steel for strength and long-lasting performance.

  • Corrosion Resistance: Chrome-plated finish helps protect against rust and wear.

  • Metric and Imperial Sizes: Available to suit both measurement standards.

Common Uses:

  • Automotive Repairs: Tightening or loosening brake and fuel line fittings.

  • Hydraulic Systems: Maintenance of hydraulic pipe connections.

  • Plumbing: Working with compression fittings and soft metal pipes.
