Brake flares onto ORA flexis was created by Smoggy

I have repiped all my brake lines in copper but my connnections to my ORA front flexis are weeping under pressure. Does anyone know if the pipe should have a single or double flare?

Tony, I thought all the hard pipefittings are males are they not?

I remember when I removed the male fittings that go to the rear wheel cylinders that the old steel pipe just had a single flare and they were a male fitting/plug. None of these are leaking.

The thing was I fitted the ORA flexis at the same time as making the new pipe ends so had nothing to compare the ends with.

Rob from ORA might know maybe.
