Subject: | Re: positioning right angle AN fittings |
When I'm tightening an angled fitting into a tapered hole, if it's not where
it needs to be when it gets tight, I just back it off a little and
retighten, and it goes a little further. Any reason not to do that?

Subject: | Re: positioning right angle AN fittings |
I guess you're talking about an aluminum fitting .... a steel one won't
do that. Basically you're cold-flowing the aluminum, stretching the
threads down towards the small end and fracturing the aluminum below the
threads. Not a good thing. What you can do, as others have suggested
is use a tap or die to cut the threads some so they clock where you want
them. Jerry has a valid concern, but we're not adding a couple of turns
here. The other thing is to use Teflon pipe dope if you can achieve the
desired clocking close to 'tight'. If you use the pipe dope, stabilize
the hose or tubing attached to the fitting to keep it from moving.

The die simply cuts the threads higher up the fitting and effectively
re-indexes the point where the proper tightness points the 90 fitting about
where you want it. Hope this helps. Jerry

Seems to work on steel fittings, too (just did my oil cooler a couple weeks
ago). Also, by that logic, wouldn't it mean you shouldn't use a fitting
more than once (or tighten it down more than once)?

Subject: | Re: positioning right angle AN fittings |
I believe the oil cooler is aluminum, and it's those threads that are
moving .... but out toward the big end. Also, I'm talking about
over-tightening a couple of times in order to achieve better clocking.
Tapered threads don't need to be installed by that 800 Lb gorilla ....
as I've seen done. Same for B nuts. ..... no, not beer nuts :-P ....
the nuts on flared fittings. Some folks think a bigger wrench (or
hammer) will solve any problem.
And, one problem with over-tightening tapered fittings ..... such as
those on the oil cooler .... the boss may split somewhere down the
airway, leaving you oiling up the countryside. Seen that too. Done by
an IA. Sheesh.
