Hydraulic
......that
fittings
for
hydraulic
units
are
very
different
from
regular
fittings
for
air
and
instrumentation?
The
hydraulic
fittings
have
much
deeper
and
thinner
threads
in order
to be
more
resistant
to leakage.
The
fitting
nut
is also
longer
than
that
for
a CFI
fitting.
However,
the
thin
threads
on the
hydraulic
fitting
make
them
very
sensitive
to over
tightening.
The
thin
threads
will
easily
deform
when
tightening
the
fitting.
If
your
hydraulic
systems
leak,
make
sure
you
have
the
right
fittings.
