I would like to install an AN894-D6-4 flared tube reducer to the bulkhead nut side of an AN833-6D bulkhead fitting. Currently it pretty much just bottoms out without getting tight. In Google searching it says an "O" ring must be used to get a seal. So where is this "O" ring suppose to go -
Over the bulkhead fitting against the bulkhead nut - - inside the reducer ?
In looking inside the reducer the base is chamfered as it would be to fit against the male end of a normal AN flared fitting so if the "O" ring goes inside what is going to keep it in place ?
On the other hand, putting the "O" ring in the threaded area of the bulkhead does not sound like a good idea so - - - -
Thank you very much,
Randy E.
