It is a double flare. I know for a fact. I have had two friends replace brake line sections in Civics. Both of them did the double flare and neither of them have had a problem. One going on three years and the other one year.
Are you using the right size brake line for your repair?
Double flare is the appropriate and safe flare for brake lines bubble flare isn't safe for brake line repairs, because it can come un-done.
