Tube flaring is a method of forming the end of a tube into a funnel shape so it can be held by a threaded fitting. When a flared tube is prepared, a flare nut is slipped onto the tube and the end of the tube is flared. During tube installation, the flare is seated to a fitting with the inside of the flare against the cone-shaped end of the fitting, and the flare nut is screwed onto the fitting, pulling the inside of the flare against the seating surface of the fitting.
