Fuel Selector Fittings

Fuel Selector Fittings

TLDR

  • Installed 90 degree fittings on the fuel selector

Details

I’m starting the internal fuel lines soon. Today I worked on the fuel selector.

The Andair fuel selector came with no fittings on it. And I needed to connect 6x 90 degree NPT->AN6 fittings.

Each fitting is connected to the fuel selector unit with 4 little screws. And Andair calls for loctite 648 to secure the screws. So I got to buy the 648 from Amazon.

With all the tools, I installed all 6 fittings. Since the fittings are very close to each other, I could not tighten them in place on the unit. I had to tighten them one at a time on the unit, then remove it to make space for the next one.

After all fittings are tightened, I added the screws to sceure them permanently.
