 |
|
I am about to hook up my static line and pitot tube to the various instruments. I am using nyloseal fittings. Is it advisable to use anything on the nyloseal threads to make them air tight? That oil-teflon paste caled Bakerseal perhaps or maybe plumber's teflon tape?
My concern is that I'm using a number of T's and you generally have to clock those to satisfy tube routing issues rather than screwing them in to optimal tightness (whatever that is). Something extra on the threads might reduce the chance that I get a leaky fit even if the T isn't screwed in as far as it could go.

I did not use any sealer on the threads.However
when connecting the lines I did not
push the nylon tube in far enough and the connection loosened.
Make sure the tube extends through the small nylon ring
inside the nylon nut.
Also you may want to use the 259-N insert.

Yes, I am using the inserts. I think they increase the reliability greatly. They also make it nearly impossible for the tube to back out.
But in my D10-A, anyway, the nyloseal fittings I screwed in just didn't seem very tight. They seem to fit better in the other instruments.
