Default Brake pipes single or double flare

Hi

As part of my overhaul of the brake system I am going to split/join the brake pipes at the rear because the 11mm screw heads have been rounded and can no longer be used.

My question is this.

When flaring the pipes it mentions Single and Double flare.

im confused about when to use a single or when to use a double flare.

For example. With the existing pipe remaining on car and suitably splice/cut awaiting flare do i use a single on that end. (I am using a double joiner) here and adding in the replacement pipe. For replacement pipe end which will go into the hose from the caliper do i use double flare? or should i just use double on all the joins (3 joins in total) Pipe to pipe, pipe to hose.

Regards
Buzz
