When you use soft copper tubing, you flare the end to make the connection. You put a nut on the tube and then flare the end so that it looks like a funnel. Then you can connect the tube to a fitting and when you tighten the nut it compresses the copper and makes a seal.

What is a flare wrench?
A flare wrench, also known as a flare-nut wrench, tube wrench or line wrench is used for gripping the nuts on the ends of tubes (like automotive brake lines and household plumbing). It is similar to a box-end wrench but, instead of encircling the nut completely, it has a narrow opening just wide enough to allow the wrench to fit over the tube. This allows for maximum contact on plumbing nuts, which are typically softer metals and therefore more prone to damage from open-ended wrenches. See images of flare nut wrenches by searching google and see what purchase links pop up. Cheers
