You'll need a flaring tool to flare the ends. Harbor Freight has one that works fine: http://www.harborfreight.com/double-tube-flaring-tool-kit-66534.html. If you use flex line intended for home use make sure it is attached properly to the side of the cabinet so it doesn't flop around with the bumps of driving. It's not intended for use in high vibration areas.

I see the stove-frige fittings when looking up through the cabinet. Before I tackle the rusted screws on the floor plate the lines go through under the van is there some thing under it that I need to look out for? Is running the new lines a simple matter of feeding the new line up to the stove and bending the lines (with a bender this time) in the right spots. The tank install was bear in itself (see other post). Thanks for any help. Spencer 85 Westy
