I take it there weren't any instructions with it?
I bought a similar kit to do the brake lines on my pug, really easy after a couple of practice goes.
For brake lines you need a male flair, it was singles on my car. You cut the pipe square, put the union on the correct way, grip the pipe in the vice (leaving about 4 or 5 mm sticking out), use the right size die, press the die into the end of the pipe until the flair is made. You will need a few practice runs first.
