Compression fittings

Wow I can't believe I'm the only one that uses them lol I always thought thats what they were made for.

They're not made for high pressure. All that holds them together are the ferules that squeeze down around the lines. They are no way made for pressures exceeding 1000 PSI. I think brake pressures can exceed 3000 PSI in some instances. Just because you can, doesn't mean you should. If you want to connect lines together like that, the correct and SAFE way is with a flare union.
