I had an A&P who would use a 45 deg. flaring tool and tighten up the 37 degree fittings until they sealed. No problem, he said. OTOH, I know a meticulous builder who makes the 45 deg. double flare first, then takes his Parker flaring tool and converts it to 37 degrees. I'm like you --- I prefer a double flare if the tube can handle it. --------- From: "Bill & Sue" Yikes! Art, are you sure that the flares are AVIATION flares. I believe they should be 100 degrees. Sears probably sells AUTOMOTIVE flares which are, I believe 90 degrees. Worth a check.
