Flared fittings use a flare and a nipple for the sealing surface. The threads do not serve any purpose as to actually sealing anything. The threads merely hold the flare of the one fitting together tightly with the nipple of the other fitting to create a seal.
The seal weld in a structure is used a weld used for tightness. Specifically this type of weld is used for holding in liquids or gaseous materials.
STI stands for "Screw Thread Insert." When tapping a thread with an STI tap, you're typically preparing the hole to receive a threaded insert, commonly known as a helicoil or thread insert, which helps reinforce or repair damaged threads. My Recommendation 𝐡𝐭𝐭𝐩𝐬://𝐰𝐰𝐰.𝐝𝐢𝐠𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐞𝟐𝟒.𝐜𝐨𝐦/
Cast iron insert is used in a motorcycle crankcase due to its durability. This makes is impossible for thread stripping of the cylinder head.Ê

Well, darling, -6 AN inlet size simply refers to the diameter of the fitting on the end of a hose or tube. The "-6" part corresponds to a specific measurement in inches, so it's basically like saying it's a certain size without actually saying the size. Think of it as a secret code for all the gearheads out there.
A flare connection is a type of plumbing or fluid connection where a flared fitting is used to connect a pipe or tubing. This fitting has a cone-shaped or flared end that mates with a mating surface to create a seal. Flare connections are commonly used in refrigeration and air conditioning systems.
When soft copper tubing is used the end is flared so that it can seal against the fittings. A flaring tool is used to spread the end of the tubing so that it looks like a small funnel. When you tighten the nut onto a fitting it compresses the copper against the flare on the fitting and makes a seal. It is a dry seal, no pipe dope should be used on a flare fitting. This is almost always on a gas line of some sort, air, natural gas, propane or some other gas. It can be used for liquids, but generally isn't.
Water main coming into house usually 3/4" K copper pipe. Depending on local plumbing code, fitting usually is flared or soldered.
I am a Plumbing/HVAC Contractor and the type of fitting I always used for underground copper service pipe has been 3/4" (standard size for residential) brass flared fittings. A flared connection is a tight, secure connection guaranteed not to leak.
Conduit fitting is used on metal pipes that house electrical wires. These fittings are not only to connect the various pieces together, but to keep a relatively water tight seal to the wires.
No, it is not recommended to reuse an old ferrule when replacing a compression fitting. The ferrule is designed to create a tight seal and may have deformed during the initial installation, compromising its effectiveness. Using a new ferrule ensures a proper seal and reduces the risk of leaks. Always replace the ferrule with each new fitting installation for optimal results.
Thread sealant and Teflon tape are both used to seal pipe connections, but they have some key differences. Thread sealant is a liquid compound that hardens to create a strong, permanent seal, while Teflon tape is a thin, flexible tape that is wrapped around the threads of the pipe to create a tight seal. Thread sealant is better for high-pressure applications and can be used on a wider range of materials, while Teflon tape is easier to use and is less messy. Ultimately, the choice between the two depends on the specific needs of the project.
Pipe thread sealant and Teflon tape are both used to seal pipe threads, but they work in different ways. Pipe thread sealant is a liquid compound that hardens to create a seal, while Teflon tape is a thin, flexible tape that is wrapped around the threads to create a seal. In general, Teflon tape is more effective for sealing pipe threads because it provides a tighter seal and is less likely to leak.
CGA stands for the Compressed Gas Association. A CGA fitting is standardized system for the attachment of a compressed gas cylinder to the required regulator or transfer line. Examples of CGA fittings would be CGA-580 for Non-flamable, Non-oxidizing gasses such as Nitrogen, Argon, or Helium. CGA-590 is used for compressed air and CGA-326 is used for Nitrous Oxide. There are approximately a dozen commonly used CGA-fittings, with others used for special purposes. These welding fittings are typically used for welding applications, but can extend to other application such as medical and other gas uses. The fitting standards are designed to make the gas connections leak tight and also prevent different fittings from being mixed up. For example, flamable gas fittings have a left hand thread fittings. Oxygen and inert gases have right hand thread fittings. Since a left hand thread fittings cannot be threaded onto a right hand fitting, it is impossible to connect the fuel gas to the oxygen and vise versa. It is easy to determine whether the fitting is a left hand or right hand thread. The left hand fittings all have a small cut or slash on the nut of the fitting that denotes the left hand thread.
They are actually spelled jodhpurs, not jodphurs as commoncly is used. Originally, jodhpurs (as worn in and around the city in India after which they are named) were tight-fitting only from the knee to the ankle and were flared above the knee; modern stretch-fabrics have allowed jodhpurs to be supportive and flexible, which is perfect for riding.
Thread is generally used for sewing.
A flare joint is used on gas fittings and uses a nut and flare fitting to make the connection. This is a dry fit with no joint compound. The copper is soft enough that it compresses with the nut and forms the seal.
