thanks Rich. With the description, yes the hard line is a double flare. Basically, the hard line going into the rubber hose like it is right now would look like this <> which I know won't work. I don't know what flare the hose is. Randy- I tried taking a pic of the rubber hose, but I'm trying not to open the sealed bag in case i have to take it back and I can't take a picture through the bag. I think the hoses are metric bubble flares? It looks like maybe I can get an adaptor fitting to make it work. Sound right? sorry, I didn't mean to hijack your thread Randy.
