Title: JIC fittings. Post by: VOLV_LO on March 21, 2004, 01:33:09 AM A VERY COMMON problem with these fittings are the're are a DOZEN companies making cheap know-off versions... If the're is a BURR or a wrong DEGREE FACE (very common in cheap fittings..) Take a SMAL COPPER WASHER (small enough to fit into your JIC FEMALE END) and use it as a seal. This washer of course is flat and your JIC is TAPERED, but it will bend easily and seal your leakiy fittings.
REMEMBER; Never over tighten JIC fittings, NOR use teflon tape. A two finger pull is MORE than enough torge to stop leaks... any more is POINTLESS and your detroying your fittings... :ph34r: Title: JIC fittings.
