They don't carry the 3/4" anymore in the catalog and the counter guy couldn't find a listing - I searched all over the web and only saw the ones at ACE on a fluke (after I'd stopped looking). Thanks for the info... Edited by tothemax on 09/13/12 - 3:30 PM 2005 Dauntless 220

Make sure you measure your required lenghts before you order. They even sell the flairing tool. You should anneal the ends before you flare to prevent splitting. Good luck.
