Wig-o-flex are always proper sods to fit!!!!!!
It is possible to get a male-female variant which doesn't use the metal ring (it becomes part of the aluminium female weld ferrule) and only needs one 'o' ring, but that does reduce the amount of misalignment you can get away with - not that you are deliberately misaligning anything!
Always used to design for the joint to be in maximum expanded condition, that's what tends to happen when you pressurise them anyway.
The male-female does make pushing the two parts together a weeny bit easier ...but not much! I was only saying a little earlier to James D, a little soapy water perhaps ...but just heave - and don't put a nick in the 'o' ring!
