I've used a lot of Swaglok fittings over the years and really never had a problem, always using a tube cutter, and always marking the fitting at finger tight, and doing the standard 1 1/4 turn tightening procedure.

As mates can only be generated on a planar, cylindrical, spherical, conical surfaces - what tricks do you guys use to locate o-rings in assemblies?
I know this sounds like an assignment question -...
I have a question, it is pretty basic - but I would like to know what the consensus of opinion is.
We make a lot of parts, through job-shops that need to be hard coat anodized, which increases the size of the part by 0.015" per surface. People having work plated will also have the same...
