Hi Brad,
The Sprite use a bubble flare and the Morris uses a double flare (mostly).
A double flare won't seat correctly in a bubble flare fitting. If you look
inside the fitting at the mating surface, you'll see what I mean. A bubble
flare fitting is concave, while a double flare has a raised center to mate
with the concave portion of the flared pipe. A kit that will do both is the
way to go. A double flare is a bubble flare first, Then you push it's
center section pushed in to make it a double flare.
