I've noticed that most builders are flaring the ends of the pitot/AOS assembly. I'm wondering if a push to connect is acceptable? I'm using a Garmin GAP-26 heated pitot. According to the installation manual, section 5.3, revision AJ, the minimum length for the tubes on the heated pitot is 8" to protect the non-metallic tubing from excessive heat.
If the tubing is greater than 8", do you see any reason not to use the fittings depicted below?
