replacement gas pilot line and thermocouple
Hello all, I've tried a bit of searching on the forums but couldn't find anything relevant. Basically I'm trying to answer the question, can I use any 1/8 inch gas pilot line and any universal t...

I did manage to get the pilot assembly out to move it over to my existing furnace.
But... the aluminum pilot line sheared off right where it goes into the coupling nut at the gas valve end. I have an extra pilot line with fittings that I managed to find, but I have an issue with the end where it goes into the pilot.
Can anyone tell me what the little ferrule compression ring is called on the end of the gas line? it appears to be only one sided. I need to cut the new line short, and get another one of these little compression rings, and set it on there so the same amount of line extends past it to match what is on the stock assembly. But I don't know what that little compression ring is called to search for one online. It also appears I need one with a different taper. Photo is the new pilot line on the left, end of the old pilot line on the right.
Grrrr, this stuff all seems almost standardized, but not quite....
Edit: or, is the brass compression ferrule on the old pilot line on the right, just a regular olive type compression ring and do they just compress down to look one sided after tightening them down? See second pic for what I mean.

Do you or anyone know the size or where to get the pilot orifice? Cant seem to find the part number or one that says the OD rather than the orifice hole size.
Backstory: Have the same furnace as the one picture, but when took apart no pilot orifice. Heater runs, pilot stays lit but two inch flames come out the exhaust. I think previous owner increased the gas pressure to keep the pilot lit with no orifice and its over burning when running?
