It follows the vehicle. The two are different shapes formed by different dies, and a SAE flare in a DIN fitting seats on the wrong surface and leaks under pressure.

3/16 inch on SAE and 4.75mm on DIN. They are close in diameter but the flare forms are not interchangeable, and both are held across the tooling here.

A turret or bench kit works with the pipe removed and clamped in dies, giving the most consistent flare. An on-vehicle tool forms the flare with the pipe still on the car, which is sometimes the only option.

The force is applied hydraulically rather than by hand, which forms a consistent flare with far less effort. That matters on an on-vehicle tool used at an awkward angle under a car.

Copper pipe is held at 3/16 inch in 25ft lengths at 20 gauge. The pipe cutter on this leaf is rated for copper, Cunifer and steel, so the material is matched to both the tool and the vehicle.

Yes, brake pipe nuts in M10 x 1mm short male DIN in packs of 25, since the nut has to match the flare standard and the fitting it goes into as well as the pipe size.

Flare standard is the first decision and getting it wrong makes a joint that leaks under pressure. SAE and DIN flares are different shapes formed by different dies, and a SAE flare in a DIN fitting seats on the wrong surface. The standard follows the vehicle, not the pipe or the tool.

Pipe size then follows, at 3/16 inch on SAE and 4.75mm on DIN, which are close in diameter but not interchangeable in flare form. Both are held across the tooling here so the same workshop can work on either. Sealey hold PFT tools in both standards and Draper run hand-held SAE and DIN tools alongside them.

Where the flare is made changes the tool entirely. A turret or bench kit is used with the pipe removed, clamped in dies, and gives the most consistent flare. An on-vehicle tool forms the flare with the pipe still on the car, which is the only option where the run cannot be taken out. Hydraulic on-vehicle kits do the same with far less effort. On-vehicle micro sets cover the runs where even a standard on-vehicle tool will not fit.

The rest of the run has to be made as well as flared. Copper pipe at 3/16 inch is held in 25ft lengths, brake pipe nuts in M10 x 1mm short male DIN in packs of 25, and a pipe cutter rated for copper, Cunifer and steel. A photo of the union and the pipe run sent to 07754288583 on WhatsApp settles the flare standard before anything is cut.
