Bradley HVAC/R Tools

Bradley HVAC/R tools are built for the hands-on parts of install and commissioning—getting flare nuts torqued correctly, forming clean 45° flares, pressure testing with nitrogen, and brazing where required.

This collection covers Bradley’s core trade kit, including torque wrench sets (preset + adjustable), a 0–800 PSI nitrogen regulator, a 45° eccentric flaring tool (drill-adaptable), and a portable hand torch. Use the filters to jump to the tool type you need, then check each product page for jaw sizes, ranges, and inclusions.

FAQ

• Do I need a torque wrench for flare nuts? OEM torque guidance varies by unit/flare type; torque tools help achieve consistent tightening and reduce rework.

• What pressure rating should my nitrogen regulator have? It depends on the test pressure you’re performing and the system; choose a regulator rated appropriately for the job.

• Can the RF100 be run with a drill? Yes—your product page states the ratchet head can be removed to adapt it for drill use.

• Do I need a Refrigerant Handling Licence (Australia)? If the work involves regulated refrigerant or RAC components that risk refrigerant emission, an appropriate licence is required.

Shop by task

• Flare nut torque (reduces leaks & call-backs): Choose a torque wrench set to match your common flare sizes and the OEM torque method for the unit.
• Pressure testing & purging: Use a nitrogen regulator that suits the pressures you’re working with (this range includes an option rated up to 800 PSI).
• Fast, consistent flares: The Bradley RF100 is an eccentric 45° flaring tool designed for repeatable alignment and can be adapted to run with a drill.
• Brazing & heating work: Grab a portable torch setup suitable for typical HVAC/R site work (always follow manufacturer safety guidance).

Compliance note (Australia)

Work that involves handling regulated refrigerants—or work on RAC equipment/components that could cause refrigerant leakage—requires an appropriate Refrigerant Handling Licence. If you’re unsure, check the official requirements before starting work.
