PO wrapped the copper with electrical tape before clamping hose over it. (He also repaired a leak in Cu cold water line with elec tape) Leaks were everywhere. I have change fuel supply to hose. Might changeover returns to hose this fall. Goal is to have everything converted to barbs and hoses. In a pinch a double clamp should be OK but like others, I put a flare on it. A double flare would have rounder edges so would be preferable.
