What is the reason for the loop?
The complete kit comes with a handful of straight 3/16" preflared lines with fittings attached. They are generally long enough to run everything you need, but will have to leave awkward service loops here and there to take up the slack. I didn't want loops, so I cut off the flares, bent my lines, reflared, etc. It's not hard to do with this tool. Very easy!
