• Scam Alert. Members are reminded to NOT send money to buy anything. Don't buy things remote and have it shipped - go get it yourself, pay in person, and take your equipment with you. Scammers have burned people on this forum. Urgency, secrecy, excuses, selling for friend, newish members, FUD, are RED FLAGS. A video conference call is not adequate assurance. Face to face interactions are required. Please report suspicions to the forum admins. Stay Safe - anyone can get scammed.
  • Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Ontario GTA West area meetup is planned for Saturday April 26th at Greasemonkeys shop in Aylmer Ontario. If you are interested and haven’t signed up yet, click here! Arbutus has also explored interest in a Fraser Valley meetup but it seems members either missed his thread or had other plans. Let him know if you are interested in a meetup later in the year by posting here! Slowpoke is trying to pull together an Ottawa area meetup later this summer. No date has been selected yet, so let him know if you are interested here! We are not aware of any other meetups being planned this year. If you are interested in doing something in your area, let everyone know and make it happen! Meetups are a great way to make new machining friends and get hands on help in your area. Don’t be shy, sign up and come, or plan your own meetup!

The ones with the brass compression sleeve that slides onto the pipe?

Yes, the one at the tank is actually a silicon ring to allow for expansion of the pipe. The cooler has the only flare fittings and I'm taking my chances with a single flare as I don't have double flare dies. All it can do is leak and then I'll buy the dies.

The cooler I have is 37 degree not 45 so I turned a 37 degree (74 combined instead of 90) and use that to press the correct angle. I imagine if one took a 45 degree copper tube flare, heated it red hot and quenched it it would probably be soft enough to be reformed to 37 degrees by the fitting nut.
