Dave,

Yeah, I've been to those exact pages, & will note for the record that
none of those pages mention an o-ring for sale, however, the pictures do
indicate that the parts come with said o-ring. If not, like I said, I
would like to know the particulars for when I go a calling the very well
informed A&S sales people (tongue firmly in cheek here).

OK, a hydraulic guy here ... don't know if oyu are after rubber type
or size.

These are what are normally called "SAE" fittings and use (usually) a
90 durometer nitirle material. It looks like they are SAE #6 (thread
is 3/8-24), but just for grins,

size thrd ID section
-4 7/16-20 .351 .072
-5 1/2-20 .414 .072
-6 9/16-20 .468 .078
-8 3/4-16 .644 .087

These do not appear to be in the AS568A dash number series but are
available at any fluid power fitting source.

George,

I had a feeling they were SAE threads as a common SAE tap set I have
lying around fit the threads. Thanks also for the info on the o-rings.
Sometimes its difficult to get the kind of detailed info you need to
talk to a salesperson who doesn't know their product line. Its good to
see that there are at least a few people who can help out on this
subject from this news group.

I worked for a Parker distributor and got the dims from that catalog.
You folks are GREAT.

I've since found that the SAE o-rings are to 568-9xx series where xx
is the 2 digit dash number (nominal tube OD in 1/16" units). I listed
the ones for the dimensions I gave below with the eimensions.

I had a feeling they were SAE threads as a common SAE tap set I have lying around fit the threads. Thanks also for the

You might note that none of the fittings pictured are
simple 37 deg flare to NPT fittings - there's
a wider bearing surface for the O-ring/NPT end.
The Lycoming standard solution does _not_ appear to
be to stuff an O-ring over an NPT fitting, cut down
or otherwise.

That fuel punp fitting must have a nut to clamp down on the "O" ring.
This compresses the "O"ring and locks the fitting in place.

That nut is only used on fittings that have to be adjustable ...
typically 45 and 90 degree. The straights, IME, don't have one.
