What happens if you over tighten a compression fitting?
The tubing will bulge and stick inside of the fitting if the ferrules are overly secure. If you can’t disassemble the valve or fitting, it’s a good indicator that the connection is much too tight. The only thing to do in this instance is to remove and replace the fitting in question.
How do you torque a hose fitting?
When using aluminum and steel fittings, use the torque for the aluminum fitting. For best results, torque to the low end of the torque range. If it leaks, tighten it until the leak stops (without exceeding the max torque). Lightly lubricate the threads and sealing surfaces with oil before assembly.
Can PTFE hose be clamped?
PTFE hose is too stiff for hose clamps. It won’t “crush” onto a fitting to create a good seal, so unique aluminum AN fittings (developed by TechAFX) must be used to secure it. PTFE is stiffer than rubber hose material, even though it has a much smaller outside diameter (about one-third the size, to be precise).
