Re: Fittings
Just hit a supplier that sells those parts and look at the fittings.
ORB fittings are straight thread and rely on a face and undercut for an oring to seal. Use no thread goop..
Pipe thread ( couple types.. BP and NPT.. etc.. ) are a taper thread and rely upon thread deformation to seal. Thread goop can be used. ( female pipe fittings that have a fre-spinning collar won't use goop, as they use a mating surface similar to JIC to mate to the male fitting )
JIC fittings rely upon mating surfaces on the male and femal fittings that mate together tightly to make the seal.. no goop on the threads.. etc.
