 Posted: Wed Jan 09, 2008 7:23 am Post subject: Falcon Pitot Tube |
 |
|
I have a chromed Falcon heated pitot tube without the static air line.
For the airspeed connection, it has a tapered fitting (like an AN
fitting). Does anyone know what the fitting surface angle is on this
pitot? I have a 37-deg Flaring tool and I want to run aluminum line for
10-12 inches for heat dissipation. Is the taper 37-deg? Will the Falcon
fitting work with a 37-deg. flare? Thanks in advance for any help!

You should be able to get a pretty good idea by holding the pitot tube fitting next to an aviation fitting and comparing the angles with the Mark I eyeball. It is quite likely a 37 deg aviation flared fitting.
