Re: SS oil drain line
I do know a little about aeroquip lines. Last car I plumbed had almost 300 fittings, it took about 50 hours and 3 shipments ($3500 parts only).
How to build a line in about 3 easy steps.
1. Use tape to mark where you are cutting, this helps keep the ends nice. Use a cut off wheel or a beverly shear, to make the cut. Remove tape right before the assembly
2. Unscrew the bottom nut from the fitting. Put "nut" into a vise (soft jaws keeps it pretty) Then put in the SS line end into the fitting, don't turn it too much but a little back and forth isn't bad. The end of the hose should be rammed all the way to the flange, you will know. Mark the hose on the end of the nut to insure proper seat after the next step. 3. Take the other "male side" of the fitting, lube it up and stick it in the hole (if you don't understand that, get a rope) Make sure you start the threads right, because it's easy to strip. Tighten the fitting up -10 (7/8, 1, 1 1/6 wrenches) The fittings. The proper way is to leave it a little loose, but I just get them tight, not too tight.
4 Do one fitting, and install on one part, then route the line to the other end. Measure and repeat 1-3 above to the other end. Then you are done!!! BESIDES CLEAN OUT LINE BEFORE INSTALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
