Wrong fittings them are
Should only have around 1 mm of metal after the threads
Tool looks like it will do double flare
Look on YouTube

So your saying I need full thread nuts?

The ones I have have a flat top for the bubble flare
For the double flare do I need nuts like these with an internal taper?

In this vid he used the same tool as mine to make a double flare
Is that the correct way for what the Jimmy needs?
