🔌 Function

Routes the specified fluid or pressure signal between matched components without leakage, restriction, vibration damage or incorrect connection geometry. Install without twist or preload, renew the specified seals/clamps, preserve the original routing and pressure- or leak-test the circuit after assembly.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Visible fluid leakage, dampness or staining along the line or connection
• Cracking, chafing, corrosion or impact damage
• Restricted flow caused by deposits, deformation or internal collapse
• Vibration fretting or failed support at clamps and mounting points

🛠️ Service Notes

• Clean both threads and check the sealing face or cone is unmarked before the fitting goes anywhere near the engine
• Seal the joint the way that thread is designed to be sealed — sealing washer, O-ring or thread sealant on a tapered thread — and renew the soft parts rather than reusing them
• Aim the elbow so the hose or pipe leaves it in a natural line, and hold that alignment while tightening; twisting the hose round afterwards to correct the angle loads the joint
• Do not over-tighten to cure a weep, particularly into aluminium or cast housings — strip the joint, find out why it leaked and reseal it properly
• Support the hose or pipe so it is not left hanging on the fitting and passing its vibration into the joint
