Over here, we have a single flare (for copper water lines and such),
double flare (most domestics use these), and bubble flare (which is in
between)
and used on German cars such as our own, and Japanese cars.
We also have people who use compression fittings, although they really
shouldn't be used on cars (but still find there way there). To make a
bubble
flare, you start with a single flare, then add in a "bubble flare tool
insert" that basically rolls the outer edges back into itself (like a
double
flare), but doesn't go all the way.
I should add that each gets it's own coupling, as the fittings aren't
interchangable.
