wrong fitting it was a copper/zinc fitting not extruded yellow brass bar stock, as stated above. try 9151K28.
This is something that the mech just got at homedepot, CT, or local hardware store. so dont expect it to be a med-hi pressure fitting.

did this fitting fail?

it looks to me like it didn't.

if it didn't fail, why are we talking about it?

Because its the wrong fitting. and it would most likely fail.

google granger valve boost controller not to derail this thread ;) but a grainger valve fresh out of the box does not make a very nice boost controller. They tend to spike, which if you are running on the hairy edge of stoich is a bad thing. You need to take it apart and move the ball from one end ...

There's so many places that npt is used that I don't know what the right answer is. I've personally used them on phnumatic distribution blocks, for oil distribution, to make manual boost controllers, to make vacuum t's... Oh and 1/4npt is standard on most airtools. also some not fittings will come w...

as soon as I saw that I could of told you it was an npt reducer, I though it was 1/4-1/8 though, can't believe it took that long for you guys to figure it out.

is a dentist really a doctor???

I get 9 stat days in lieu, and then time and a half for the stat days i actually work

From Akira, So an AME "E" isnt an engineer? Yes an AME E is an engineer but not in the context of being able to run an airplane necessarily. Most E types have never even started one let alone done any kind of power runs. I have yet to find an airline that runs large aircraft that will issue a run a...

From what I understand only m licenses require the aircraft endorsement (type) but this is for the actual release. A S or E guy can get his stamp (ACA) once he gets his license. This entitles the S/E person to sign off on work pertaining to that particular trade but the S/E license can not release ...

I forgot to add this thing..........I can't tell you how many times this thing has done the trick for me. It's especially useful in avionics work but you can use it for everything. It goes on sale for 9.99 all the time too. Probably one of the best tools I own and everyone I know has a set. Masterc...

I forgot to add: Allen keys (perferably ball ends) Flush cutters, for cutting tyraps (nothing worse than working in a tight space and find out someone used normal side cutters and left a sharp edge for you) A few differnt sized slotted screw drivers (im fond of ones with a box blade/hex end incase y...

An AME "M" rating allows you to do and sign "E" tasks.
If you were in an "E" program now id say an "M" rating would be benifical to you job hunt, yes.
But you cannot get a "M" licence then an "E", but you can get an "E" licence then an "M".

Akira, your list is pretty good except for the last item....Leatherman??? We are supposed to be professionals here. Musicsaves wants to by tools, not "A" tool. IMHO, a leatherman is for fixing farm equipment and "N!gg#r rigging"....not fixing an airplane properly!! That's my two bits. Musicsaves, i...

12 point sockets (sears in the usa is the cheapest place to get them like $20 for a set vs snap-on's $120) lockwire pliers a nice ratcheting screw driver (i prefer snap-on) speed handle (something with a ball end if you can find one) like said above a decent multimeter (fluke) ratchet wrenches decen...

why an avionics tech would need to run up an aircraft? Why would it be any different than a M doing run ups? what if you have a bleed snag and a controller/card was changed and the company asked for an engine run to confirm, is the avionics guy less competent, no. The avionics guys have the same en...

So an AME "E" isnt an engineer?

I did hear the same about all engineers getting the type course. 195 PSI just keep this in mind.......if it wasnt for Canjet I wouldnt be where I am now.....and for that I am thankful. Hey DD I think only team leaders and a few experienced guys are getting it (last I heard) how's your gig working o...

Canjet... great people to work with, not the best to work for!
Substandard pay/benefits, iffy future.

Im sorry but i fuckin laughed when i read that.
Anyone who is to embarsessed to read the instructions or ask a fellow worker how to use tooling, and has to ask in a forum shouldnt be using it anyway.
