Unknown Tube Fitting.

Unknown Tube Fitting.

RE: Unknown Tube Fitting.

Left handed chrome reverse muffler bearing??

No clue - although it looks something like an "oil" fitting??

RE: Unknown Tube Fitting.

It looks like an inverted flare, screwed into a simple adapter that I'd guess has an o-ring boss on the far end.

Or, it could be something else; I've never seen an inverted flare nut bored out so dramatically on the near side where the tube enters.

RE: Unknown Tube Fitting.

You need to go post this in the Aviation Forum, or post a post there referring to this thread.  This is less of a pipe and pipeline question and more of an aviation question to me.

Saw those things before, I think it's a pressure relief.

RE: Unknown Tube Fitting.

it's a 2 part pipe adaptor, one to accept a flared pipe the other (outer) is the flare clamping component.  

It is a capital mistake to theorise before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts. (Sherlock Holmes - A Scandal in Bohemia.)
