propane fitting help flare type

[Pugtracker]

does anyone know what kid of flare this is? It goes to my stove the pilot light it broke

It looks like a compression fitting. A brass ring slides on the copper tubing and when you tighten the nut on the fitting it compresses the brass ring. If that is what it is you need to get a new fitting and cut the tubing off just behind the old one so you can slide the new one on.

awaywego i know the compresson fittings but this is aluminum pipe 1/8 inch seems it was modled like you see it.

Aluminum is used with pilot lines, it looks like an aluminum ferrule, but I have only seen brass ferrules in my trade. Show us the fitting if you can, but I agree it is compression. The tightening of the fitting just 'galled' the ferrule connection.
(Unless they are using something I haven't seen, which is always possible.)

They replaced their pilot light on their Keystone Cambridge, looks like the fitting you need comes as an assembly on the pilot light gas line assembly (according to the picture anyway).
