I bought a new cylinder and thought I would never get the Allen, 3/8" dummy plug out so I could screw my fitting in. I worked on that thing for a solid hour before I got the torch out and gently heated it up.
I am removing a set of 1/2 QD from a brand new implement to change them to what fits my 3rd function, it required a 2 foot adjustable on one side, and a 1 foot adjustable with a 6 foot pipe on the other, and i still struggled a bit to break them free, Now i have dealt with npt in plumbing, but nowhere close to needing to be this tight, is this really normal? I plan to put it back together with loctite 545, but after doing my 3rd function with JIC and a small wrench to snug the fittings with 0 leaks, this seems a bit insane that they really need to be this tight?
the question is does it need to go back together that tight... based on the chart above, not even remotely.
