    CAUTION - not everybody is allowed to work on their own plane. If you don't know if you are, you're probably not. Be careful.

    • @ImpressiveSea2575
      @ImpressiveSea2575 11 месяцев назад +3

      The problem with automotive hoses is that they have different connectors on the ends. Airplanes use hoses that use the AN(Air Force/Navy) standard, it is relatively easy to make your own hose by attaching the connectors yourself and you can use automotive for that if it is the correct material, Inner diameter, outer diameter, and pressure rating. In addition if it’s getting installed on a certified aircraft you would need to pressure test it to 2X its maximum pressure.

    Nice video. Great information, but oh the privilege of experimental aircraft where you're allowed to make these changes yourself without having to get oversight from an A&P who looks at your work and realizes he didn't get to bill for it, so he bills you for it anyway.
    May have drifted a bit there.

    Aren't those "AN" fittings? (ie, not "NPT"). NPT are tapered threads that seal based on thread interference. AN fittings seal on the cone interface (ie, the threads only provide the compression force, not the sealing mechanism).

    • @CompleteWalkaround
      @CompleteWalkaround  11 месяцев назад +2

      Not quite but good point. The flared end that goes in the hose is a JIC fitting technically. The end that goes in the engine or whatever part is the NPT fitting. For some reason I've only ever heard them called npt even though they have two different ends.

    • @thomasaltruda1243
      @thomasaltruda1243 11 месяцев назад

      I think itswift is right.. they are AN fittings, 37 degree flare fittings. Yes the part that screws into the engine is NPT. Locally, the hose shops call 37 degree flare fittings “JIC” as opposed to automotive 45 degree fittings. I haven’t heard anybody call AN fittings “NPT”
      That’s cool you have a RV-3.. the best plane out there! I have a -4 myself, but that -3 is just a little more fun to fly!
