13/16” inverted flare is for 7/16” tubing which is the stock size. I couldn’t find 7/16” tubing so, I opted to use 3/8” which is readily available. At the time, I couldn't find a 13/16” inverted male flare to 3/8” tube fitting, thus the reason for fabricating one.

If you have a source, please post it so others can benefit from it.
