It wasn’t to bad. I bought a flaring tool kit that goes in a vice from Eastwood. And I needed a tubing straightener. The hardest thing was bending the tubing. I started off with a small tubing bender that was supposed to do 3/8” line and broke it on the first bend. Did a little research and found a Rigid brand bender that was dedicated to 3/8” line only. It is made specifically for bending tough metals like SS. Worked like a charm! It was a little pricey to get tooled up but having the right tools makes any job way easier.


On a side note. If I had it to do over I wouldn’t have used a flare tool. I only made 3 flares on the whole system and I could have done without them. I used Earls compression fittings going from hard line to AN. I really liked how the worked and made it easy. As far as price goes when you use a flare nut you would have to buy a fitting going from NPT to AN anyway. Just my thoughts on it.
