This is a really good investment. It’s likely a lifetime supply. A little on both ID and OD threads, and a light smear across the sealing surfaces.
Thanks. Brad.

Dan, others,
I initially bought all Fragola for my oil lines and whatever brand it was from Summit for my fuel lines. I've since gotten a bunch of the EvilEnergy fittings from Amazon. They seem to be of very good quality,(SEEM? is that a technical term? They are not the same quality, I didn`t come up with that out of thin air , I have experience with hundreds of AN fittings thruout the years) and a good bit less expensive(Ever hear the term 'you get what you pay for?') than those I bought from Summit. We'll see how they do.
Thanks. Brad.

How many fittings have you installed over the last 12 years ????

Not sure why you’re taking my comments as arguing or dismissing. No need to get miffed. I agree with the vast majority of what you say. And I agree with your comment about cheap Chinese crap. I don’t think the Evil Energy stuff is in that category. They are actually fairly high quality. At the end of the day, I did, in fact, end my comment with “We’ll see”. If I find they are not working out well, I’ll report back as such.
All good.
Thanks. Brad.
