Default type of flare?

Does anyone know what this type of flare is called? I thought it was called a double flare but after seeing pics of a double flare, they don't look the same:

I think it's called a GM metric bubble flare.

That's what I call a barb, made for rubber hose & a clamp. That is not a gm bubble or double flare.

Thanks for responding man. I haven't found a flare tool that can make this, except for this kit: http://www.ntxtools.com/network-tool...MTC-71475.html

There's a pic on there though that shows a "GM Metric Bubble Flare" and it looked similar to the pic in the first post so I thought that might be what it's called.

I'm actually trying to find a shop around town that can either make this type of barb/flare, or a push connect type of flare.
