hey whats up everyone. im in the process of TRYING to redo my oil cooler lines. im going the aeroquip socketless route, and of course im having issues with the side line. the socketless 90* is too big and have been searching and thinking of how to make this work. i really would like to stay socketless, since i have everything already, but cant find a good option that will work. anyone out there have any ideas that im overlooking?


any help will be greatly appreciated


thanks everyone

 

Too big in what way?
Is this -10?
I just plumbed a complete car in braided. Not socketless though. I might be able to help.

gd

 

its -10. the length after the bend is too long so it pushes the fitting out. hopefully im explaining it clear

 

Can you post a link to the stuff you are using, or maybe a picture of what is happening?

I've used socketless lines from the hydraulic store before and they work fine when properly assembled.

 

i know im not making myself clear sorry guys. the leg betw the 90* and the nut is too long. i need a 90* with shorter legs or if someone else knows of a way i can get this to fit with some other fitting or something.

i guess what i could do too, is get a male end and cut off the area that sticks out of the cooler and get the male end welded flush with the cooler then this hose end would work.....

 

Get a female to male 90 degree AN and then use a straight fitting.

I don't know if they make socketless fittings in the compact format like they do with the regular fittings. If they do, I have not seen them.

 

thanks alot aaron! i just wasnt seeing it. i knew i could count on you guys!!
