What is a standard flare?
Flare fittings are a type of compression fitting used with metal tubing, usually soft steel, ductile (soft) copper and aluminum, though other materials are also used. The most common flare fitting standards in use today are the 45° SAE style, and the 37° AN style, also used with the JIC system.Click to see full answer….

Inverted Flare Hydraulic Tube Fittings Recommended or use in hydraulic brake, power steering, fuel lines and transmission cooler lines. Inverted flare fittings are inexpensive and reusable. Inverted flare provides excellent vibration resistance. Seats and threads are internal and protected.Beside above, what is a flare thread? The AN thread is a particular type of fitting used to connect flexible hoses and rigid metal tubing that carry fluid. AN fittings are a flare fitting, using 37° flared tubing to form a metal-metal seal. They are similar to other 37° flared fittings, such as JIC, which is their industrial variant. Additionally, is a double flare the same as an inverted flare? From the looks of it, “inverted flare” and “double flare” are interchangeable terms, it’s the same type of flare. It looks like both of the fittings above are for the double flare, not bubble flare. But the issue is Toyota uses these weird fittings that are longer and have a non-threaded portion at the end.What is 37 degree flare used for?Defined by MIL-F-18866 and SAE J514 standards, these flare fittings have been machined to have a 37° flare seating surface. These fittings are most commonly used in fluid power and fuel delivery applications, especially those using high pressure.
