Thanks Mike!

Got another question for you. As I mentioned earlier in this thread,
I have been told numerous times that the SS lines need to be re-flared
to make sure they seat properly. I was also told that the SS alloy is
very hard on flaring tools - hence the reason for my question about
the flare angle(s). I have seen some heavy duty flaring tools from Ridgid
and I was contemplating getting one to stand up to the abuse
of re-flaring the SS lines. What do you think?

Steve

Steve;

Since the stainless lines do not need double-flared, you should be OK with just a decent standard-duty flaring tool.
