So you just had the push lock ends made on the line ends? Like OE type? That's a great idea!

And nice it's a 1-piece line, that makes it much simpler. Guessing you have frame connectors?

Eaton made compression fittings (Versa-flare) for steel lines, pretty sure I've posted that before. Aeroquip got bought out by Dan Foss, but they are reproducing a lot of their' stuff. They still use the Aeroquip name, maybe even Eaton. They work with steel and stainless steel, go from like -1 to like -12 or higher.

They make -5 to -6 adapters too, so you can go AN on trans cooler lines. (5/16-3/8)

You can flare steel line and use tube sleeves & nuts, but stainless is too brittle, so compression fittings are a great solution. Flaring steel lines is no fun, but possible.

I looked at the Swagelock AbT stuff, but was having trouble finding some sizes, and sourcing was an issue when I was looking so gave up. I will have to look again, since the Don Foss sources can take time to fill an order. Maybe that's better now, last time I tried was close to when the merger happened.

Both can be used in high psi apps, like brake line, quality stuff.
