You can use the same flare tools.........

Maybe. It takes a trained eye to discriminate between SAE and AN......

Not SAE and AN fittings.Look at steel break lines and gas lines and you
will
see the double flare. Keeps the cracks from generating a leak.


Oh.... OK... as far as I know doubles are all 45 deg..... although a
quality crimper costs a fortune and the flares are a PITA to make....

I have a double flaring tool buddy gave me about 40 years ago when I built
my race car. Was a pain to get the flare right, but was fairly easy to do,
if you worked slowly.
