The "OUTEE" type of connection that you show in your picture is not for a
brake hose. It was originally used for a solid line with a "double" flare.
A TSB was released in later years which indicated that either a double
flare or a "bubble" flare could be used with that type of connection.

Those wheel cylinders had a solid pipe in one "hole" and either a bleed
screw or a flex hose in the other. The flex hose was sealed with a copper
washer at the top of the thread and the bleed screw originally had a flat
end with small steel ball.
