Hi,
I used these on my 8 and am quite pleased. N542E has 61 hours now since
April 11th.
Best to All,
Ed Clegg

Be careful lubricating aluminum flare "B" nut unions....no lubricant is nec
essary and I personally do not recommend it.- Over torquing of the assy i
s more possible where all you need is good clean dry threads and clean smoo
th flares.

Subject: RV8-List: Bakerseal Or EZTurn?
What are the pros and cons of Bakerseal vs. EZTurn for installing all
of the AN Blue fittings? I've got some of both and am about to do
the fittings for the fuel filter and fuel pump. They definitely have
different consistences - Bakerseal is kind of caulky and thick, and
EZTurn is kind of smooth and sticky like tooth paste. Van's says,
"either one". What's the common feeling on these products?
I assume that you just gunk some nicely on the end of the fitting and
then screw it tightly into the other part and wipe up the excess?
What about the flared fittings? Do you put it on the inside of the
flare too, or just the threads for the nut?
Thanks for the help!
Matt
