Metal-to-metal ôhold in placeö flared type connection

Metal-to-metal ôhold in placeö flared type connection

(OP)
I need specifications and/or tooling to make a metal-to-metal “hold in place” flared type connection. I have seen it used, but do not know how to make it. The mating surfaces are similar to a 37 or 45 degree JIC/SAE type flared tube fitting, although the tubing has the male portion and the manifold box has the female portion. The mate is held in place by holding the manifold against the tube with spring or other type of easily removable hold in place force (No bolts or other more permanent type fastening). The application is a 1.9” OD tube with a wall thickness of .049 which mates to an easily removable manifold box of comparable thickness. (Thickness could also be .065 or .083).  Water flow rate is over 100 gpm and pressure is only about 5 psi. A small amount of leakage is not a problem. Any information on this type of connection, including what it is called, is appreciated.
