First time playing with AN/JIC fittings. I have a few aluminum -4 AN fittings to connect and have a question:
I have a female -4AN "T". I was expecting to look into the "T" and see a tapered seat for each of the three connections. It is just a threaded hole for each connection with no seat to mate with the male end taper of any -AN fitting that I install.
It appears the entire seal is left up the threads binding which isn't the purpose of an -AN fitting. Do I need to use an O-Ring for these connections?
Thanks
