When working with
hose and tubing, it helps to have choices. If you had time, you could
research all the fittings available, and choose wisely based on everything
you've learned about:
Compression... Bite...
JIC Flare... Face seal... Grab ring... Metric...EO... Pipe... Straight
thread... Flange... Swage... Weld... Solder... Braze... Push-to-Connect...
Sweat... Flareless... Sanitary... 1 1/4 turns....1/4 turn... 1 3/4 turns...Torque...
Finger tight.
...And after you
have had the time to learn all about:
Steel... Brass...
Stainless... Nylon... Polyethylene... Polypropylene... PVC... Teflon®...
Copper... Hastelloy... Aluminum... Monel... And so forth.
...Or save
yourself time and lean on Quest Engineering to solve a problem with
tube fittings...so you can turn your attention to other decisions that
need to be made.
