If so is there a special tool used to form the tubing? | | | | | Joined: Jul 2004 Posts: 5,708 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jul 2004 Posts: 5,708 | Jimbo's46,
I don't know for sure...most tubing, especially small stuff like 1/8" is not flared but is sealed with a brass ferrule and a compression nut. If you have the fitting from the block, it will tell you the whole story. It would have a female opening the same size as the tube OD, as the tube fits into this fitting.
