Hi all:
I'm installing some Nylo-Seal fittings into my Dynon, airspeed indicator, VSI, and altimeter. The "T" type fittings tighten just fine but I have a problem with the straight fittings. These are P/N 268-N04-02 at Aircraft Spruce. They seem to not get very snug. I swear I was careful not to over tighten them but they turn with much less force than I would have imagined. In fact, when snuggin the tube to Nylo-Seal interface, the Nylo-Seal to instrument interface turns a bit as well. I've pulled a couple out and looked at the threads and they look ok. I also put some Teflon paste at each joint.
What am I doing wrong? I would imagine that I could expect leaks at the Nylo-Seal to instrument interface? Any tips on installing these?
Since I have a slider, I sure don't want to have to shimmy up there to fix future leaks.
Thanks!!
