The  beauty of the single flares (using the tube nuts etc as sold by Pegasus) 
 
is that you can disconnect and reconnect and they do not leak, unlike the  
bubble flares, which are compressed the first time they are attached, and  
never seal again. .


Scott the POS bubble flares aren't even in the discussion. They suck &  
always will, for the reason you mentioned. The point is whether or not the 45  
degree JIC flare will mate to the 37 degree AN using the AN818/9 B nut/tube  
sleeve. As I said, Pegasus tech says yes, & the many hundreds of fittings  that I 
have done in this manner confirms that fact.... however from the  responses to 
this post, I'm going to agree that it's best to use a 37 degree  flare vs 
45... but I have not had any problems using this method & right off  the top of my 
head I can say that I've done at least 15 complete systems in this  manner. 
(good run-on sentence!).
Now... my only problem is how am I going to order a 37 degree tool from  
Aircraft Spruce without ordering a whole bunch of other cool stuff that they  have 
in their catalog that I may or may not need ;-)
Thanks to all,
Glen
Buuurp... it tastes like crow...!
