Hi All,

Bill a sigle flare is the type you find on most gas sytems in the home.
The copper pipe is forced by a tool into a 90 degree cone. Appropriate
fitting behind the flare seals it to the nipple.

A double flare is really an extruded collar made by forcing a small section

of the pipe back on itself. Sort of an instant metal 'O' ring. Found mostly
with
automotive brake tubing and on most high pressure (80-90) psi Bosch type K
efi sytems.

They use different fittings. Don't mix them up.
