 BOSS SEPARABLE FITTING

DESIGN CONCEPT:

The concept of MS33649 Boss design provides an internally threaded port to mate with fittings for use
in extreme tight areas. The design of the Boss accommodates mating with Straight threaded fitting end
as well as Flared or Flareless fitting ends. An O-ring that is installed on the hex face of the mating fitting
end and compressed against the front seat of the Boss surface accomplishes sealing.

In the case of shape fittings such as elbow, tee and cross configurations. A tight fit washer supported by
a jam nut is assembled on the externally threaded port for securing the O-ring. As an option, externally
threaded Flared or Flareless bulkhead fitting ends can also be used as alternative fitting ends. Position
the fitting within the final turn of the last thread engagement and then tighten the jam nut on the washer
to effect O-ring sealing.

O-ring materials shall be selected based on compatibility with system fluid and temperature
requirements. An option is given on straight fitting connections by utilizing the one-piece externally
threaded fitting end with an integral metal seal on the hex face. This concept allows the fitting joint to
withstand any system fluid and temperature range that is compatible with the system tubing materials
being used.

This design concept is handy for fluid connections on actuators, instrument gages, manifolds, pumps,
reservoirs, etc. It is also an ideal fitting design for drainage purpose as well.
DESIGN ADVANTAGES:

• Sealing efficiency is accomplished by changing new O-ring per each repeated usage. Thus,
wear and tear of both mating fittings are kept to minimum to reduce down time and high repair
cost.

• Assembly of Boss connections can be made in place for production and repair applications.

• Design concept allows fitting connections be installed in extreme tight areas.

• Fittings are available in Cres, Titanium Alloy and Aluminum Alloy materials which are virtually
compatible for use with just about any tube materials.

• No special tooling is required except standard torque wrenches for fitting installation.

 FLARED SEPARABLE FITTING

DESIGN CONCEPT:

The concept of Flared connection is to flare the tube end forming an internal 37 degree cone while
supported by the AN818 nut and MS20819 sleeve behind the flared portion. It mates with a 37 degree
fitting nose inserted into the flared tube end with external threads on the fitting to secure with the
AN818 nut to maintain sealing.

When working with high strength tube materials or thick tube wall which makes it difficult to flare the
tube end. The option of using a machined 37 degree single fitting cone or a double cone of a different
design option will take place to mate with the conventional 37 degree fitting nose. The angle on the
outer cone of 38-½ degree slightly larger than the 37 degree fitting nose is for alignment support and the
25 degree on the inner cone angle is for clearance purposes. The intersection of the two cone angles
formed a sealing point landed on the mid section of the 37 degree fitting nose assures positive sealing.
Thus, it eliminates undesirable sealing locations at extreme upper or lower edges of contacts between
the 37 degree fitting nose and the single flared cone depending on the tolerance of 37 +/- ½ degree on
both mating angles. It also eliminates sensitive nut binding and leakage as a result from nut over torque.

Another design option is to use the Seal Ring concept on the conventional 37 degree fitting nose.
Sealing takes place with the Teflon ring compressed against the mating 37 degree cone. The Seal Ring
connection assures positive sealing under tolerable misalignment conditions.

Both design options offer high degree of sealing reliability for repeated usage. It is however not
recommended using double cone and Seal Ring nose to mate with each other.
DESIGN ADVANTAGES:

Χ Sealing efficiency eliminates down time and high repair cost.

Χ Assembly of Flared connections can be made in place for production and repair applications.

Χ Fittings are available in Cres, Titanium Alloy and Aluminum Alloy materials which are virtually
compatible for use with just about any tube materials.

Χ No special tooling is required except standard torque wrenches for fitting installation.

 FLARELESS SEPARABLE FITTING

DESIGN CONCEPT:

The concept of Flareless provides positive sealing and a high degree of sealing reliability for repeated usage. The
configuration of Flareless joint consists an acorn shaped fitting nose designed to mate with a 24 degree cone fitting
end forming a sealing point.

A gage diameter is provided on the acorn Flareless nose near the sealing diameter for installation reference and
inspection purposes. The sealing point is located at the thicker wall area of both mating fitting ends to assure
proper sealing with no plastic deformation through repeated usage.

A pilot end was added to the front nose of the acorn Flareless that fits inside the undercut of the 24 degree mating
cone. This feature provides fitting alignment to effect positive sealing. In addition, a predetermined bottoming gap
distance between mating fitting ends at the pilot nose and the shoulder is for preventing damage on the acorn
Flareless nose by over torque on the nut.

Removal of the pilot end to make a shorter fitting is optional when fittings are used in tight areas or lighter weight
is required. Either option is in use successfully in the industry.

Shape fittings such as elbow, tee or cross are available in a “Lightweight” version. It saves on an average of
30 % lighter weight than the Standard version.

DESIGN ADVANTAGES:
Χ Sealing efficiency eliminates unnecessary down time and high repair cost.

Χ Assembly of Flareless connections can be made in place for production and repair applications.

Χ Design concept offers self-alignment to effect proper sealing. It offers bottoming feature to protect fitting
from damage caused by nut over torque.
Χ Fittings are available in Cres, Titanium Alloy and Aluminum Alloy materials which are virtually
compatible for use with just about any tube materials.

Χ No special tooling is required except standard torque wrenches for fitting installation.

 DUAL/SEAL SEPARABLE FITTING

DESIGN CONCEPT

DualΙSeal is a registered trademark of a Dynamic Beam Seal fitting offers unique double sealing. The design of
DualΙSeal fitting end has a circumferential beam with a wavy cross sectional profile. The elegant geometric of
the beam will uniformly deflect against the mating fitting end creating two circular points of sealing.

At the beginning of nut torque, the primary seal is formed at the lower tangent point of the seal beam.
Continuing to tighten the nut will form a secondary seal at the upper tangent point of the seal beam. The
secondary seal provides another function as a stop (bottoming) preventing nut over torque to damaging the
primary seal for repeated usage. The bottoming feature also provides stability of primary sealing at every
DualΙSeal joints under vibration or bending conditions which are all critical requirements for flight conditions.

High strength materials are used for DualΙSeal fittings to achieve spring action for sealing force. When the seal
beam is under deflection, the spring back force of the seal beam pushing on the mating fitting end creates a
locking device for thread engagement. Upon disassembly, the elastic beam will spring back and will be ready
for use again.

The contact surfaces (ie: mating fitting end and nut threads) are finished with dry film lubricant to assure ease of
multiple repeated assemblies. As an option, dry film lubricant on mating fitting end can be exchanged for a bare
metal surface with 8 micro smoothness for use in clean systems related to space programs.
DESIGN ADVANTAGES:

• A flush sealing face offers easy in place installation.

• Stronger material strength, smaller envelops and significantly lighter weight than Flared or Flareless
(including Lightweight) fittings.

• Sealing efficiency eliminates unnecessary down time and high repair cost.

• Navy test results showed fatigue life up to 150% higher than Flared or Flareless fittings.

• Seals at lower nut torque than Boss, Flared or Flareless fittings.

• Threads per MIL-S-8879 or AS8879 of different pitches and diameters to avoid cross threading to Flared
or Flareless fittings and nuts.

Χ Fittings are available in Cres and Titanium Alloy materials that are virtually compatible for use with just
about any high strength tube materials.

Χ No special tooling is required except standard torque wrenches for fitting installation.

 ORBITAL WELD PERMANENT FITTING

DESIGN CONCEPT:

Weld fitting design offers smallest envelope, lightest weight and strongest joint among all other
mechanical fitting joints. Navy test results showed an average welded joint has a durable fatigue life up
to 150% higher than mechanically attached fitting joints. No wonder this concept is widely used in
commercial and military programs worldwide.

The weld fitting end design has the simplest geometrical contour with an integral T-ring. It provides
alignment for the fitting and tubing and is also a filler material for welding.

Fitting and tubing ends shall be cleaned prior to welding; one of the simplest cleaning methods is to
spray acetone to the joint and it will quickly evaporate.

Weld fittings are easily to be welded by Orbital weld tooling with electronic memories to reproduce
accurate repeated weld each time. It minimizes X-ray inspection to a large degree. Different tooling is
available for bench production weld or portable welding. The unified welded joint provides a positive
fluid sealing.

DESIGN ADVANTAGES:

• Unified weld joint offers positive sealing.

• Offers smallest envelope, lightest weight and strongest fitting joint.

• Electronic memories produce accurate repeated weld each time.

• Weld tooling requires lowest maintenance cost by replacing tungsten only.

• Integral T-ring offers self-alignment for fitting and tubing butting to support proper welding.

 BRAZE PERMANENT FITTING

DESIGN CONCEPT:

Airdrome Precision Components, was a licensee of Douglas Aircraft Co. (prior to become Boeing Co.)
for manufacturing Cres fittings commencing with DC-10 aircraft, was also the original manufacturer of
Titanium Alloy Braze fittings starting with their MD-11 aircraft followed by the MD-80's and 90's.
Braze fitting joints are known to be lightweight, high performance and extremely durable.

The braze cavity was designed to have a braze alloy ring pre-assembled on the inside of the fitting end
for tube braze. When the fitting/tubing joint is clamped inside the tool to be brazed by induction heat
coil. It will melt the braze alloy ring only and the material will flow evenly around to fill up the interface
gap between fitting and tubing to form a permanent joint. The interface gap was designed to hold full
filling of the melted braze alloy ring to assure full bounding for fluid sealing.

Any conventional induction heat coil set up can be used to braze these fittings. As an option for service,
Boeing sub-contractors can also accomplish Brazing of fitting / tubing joints ready for tube installation.

While the superior performance of the Braze fittings offer the best of tube assembly connecting features,
the separable fittings provide durability of permanent connections and offer the flexibility to interface
with Boss, Flared, Flareless or DualΙSeal fitting ends providing an unrivaled fitting joint connection.
DESIGN ADVANTAGES:

Χ Unified Brazed joints offers positive sealing.

Χ Offers compact envelope, lightweight and durable service life.

STANDARD PROCUREMENT SPECIFICATIONS FOR BRAZE FITTINGS

SAE AS4459 and Military MIL-B-7883 specifications define Form, Fit, Function and Procurement

 SHAPE MEMORY TUBE FITTING

DESIGN CONCEPT:

Shape Memory is a technology of cryogenic fit concept. Another supplier gave the same fitting a tradename Cryofit. It is a
coupling made of Tinel material – half Titanium and half Nickel. The coupling is machined to predetermined dimensions
with the I.D. smaller than the tube O.D. Passing a mandrel through the coupling I.D. while submerged in liquid nitrogen
at cryogenic temperature will expand the coupling. It will remain as expanded while submerged in liquid nitrogen. When
the coupling is installed to couple two pieces of tubing together, it will automatically return to its predetermined
dimensions when exposed to room temperature. The shape memory is the result of a change in the crystal structure of the
alloy known as reversible austenite to martensite phase transformation.

Shape Memory tube fittings were designed to work with Tinel couplings to provide separable fitting connections in elbow,
tee and cross configurations. These fittings were uniquely designed to be compatible for assembly with Tinel couplings on
tube ends. Each of these Cryofit joints offers .125 of an inch for tube insertion tolerance that minimize pre-stress caused by
stack-up tolerance during hydraulic line installation.

The Shape Memory joints are easy to install. Simply position the coupling on the pre-marked fitting/tubing joint and let
the shape memory does the rest of the work within seconds. The coupling material itself accomplishes the crimping
leaving no room for human errors. Thus, anticipation of positive sealing in each joint is assured.

DESIGN ADVANTAGES:

Χ Positive sealing is assured by constant crimping force of the coupling material over differential tube material
resistant strength.

Χ Shape Memory fitting joints are easy to install either in production or field repair.

Χ No special tooling is required except standard torque wrenches and a pair of tongs.

STANDARD PROCUREMENT SPECIFICATION FOR SHAPE MEMORY TUBE FITTINGS

 EXTERNALLY SWAGED FITTING

DESIGN CONCEPT

The Externally Swaged fitting was originally developed by McDonnell Douglas (prior to become
Boeing) who granted the manufacturing authority to Airdrome Precision Components. Another supplier
gave the same fitting a tradename Permaswage.

After the patent was expired in 1991, Airdrome Precision Components improved the fitting design
concept by lower the fitting yield strength slightly to increase significantly broader fitting application for
use on softer tubing materials and/or thinner tube wall. It has also enhanced swaging tool life.

The unique geometric of the fitting design has a body and tail connected by a thinner wall mid section. It
creates a flexible tail to absorb vibration and bending in flight conditions while static sealing takes place
in the body section.

Externally Swaged fittings were designed for permanently assembled onto tubing by crimping with
swaging tool. Each fitting offers .300 of an inch for tube insertion tolerance that minimizes pre-stress
caused by stack-up tolerances during hydraulic line installation. This advantage can also be utilized by
installing an union for repair of small tube defects less than .300 of an inch.

Fitting materials are available in Aluminum Alloy, Cres and Titanium for use with various tubing
materials. Each fitting tail I.D. is coated with Teflon for lubrication to enhance stress relief on fitting
joints under bending or vibration conditions. The Teflon finish is also colored differently for fitting
material identification and surface protection purposes. For 3,000 psi rated fittings: Green Teflon is
coated on inside and outside of Aluminum Alloy and inside of Cres fittings only, black Teflon is coated
on inside and outside of Titanium fittings. For 4,000 psi rated fittings: Blue Teflon is coated on inside
and outside of Titanium fittings.

Each fitting end has two internal grooves for baked on silicone seal. Double silicone seal is required on
Aluminum Alloy fittings for use on Aluminum Alloy tubing. Single silicone seal is sufficient on Cres and
Titanium fittings for use on Cres and Titanium Alloy tubing. It is however, recommended that optional
double silicone seal (to add suffix code Y in part number) should be used on all fittings.
DESIGN ADVANTAGES:

• Sealing efficiency eliminates unnecessary down time and high repair cost.

• Large tube insertion tolerance minimizes pre-stress within hydraulic systems.

• Ext-Swage fittings are easy to install either in production or field repair.

• Ext-Swage fittings are compatible for use with Boss, Flared, Flareless and Dual/Seal separable
fitting ends.

 METRIC BOSS SEPARABLE FITTING

DESIGN CONCEPT:

The concept of MA2012 Boss design provides an internally threaded port to mate with fittings for use in extreme tight
areas. The design of the Boss accommodates mating with Straight threaded fitting end per MA2093. An O-ring that is
installed on the hex face of the mating fitting end and compressed against the front seat of the Boss surface accomplishes
sealing.

O-ring materials shall be selected based on compatibility with system fluid and temperature requirements. This design
concept is handy for fluid connections on actuators, instrument gages, manifolds, pumps, reservoirs, etc. It is also an ideal
fitting design for drainage purpose as well.

DESIGN ADVANTAGES:

Χ Sealing efficiency is accomplished by changing new O-ring per each repeated usage. Thus,
wear and tear of both mating fittings are kept to minimum to reduce down time and high repair cost.

Χ Assembly of Boss connections can be made in place for production and repair applications.

Χ Design concept allows fitting connections be installed in extreme tight areas.

Χ Fittings are available in Cres, Titanium Alloy and Aluminum Alloy materials which are virtually compatible for
use with just about any tube materials.

Χ No special tooling is required except standard torque wrenches for fitting installation.

STANDARD PROCUREMENT SPECIFICATION FOR BOSS FITTINGS

SAE MA2005 or ISO7169 specifications define Form, Fit, Function and Procurement requirements for Boss fittings.

APPROVAL STATUS

Airdrome fittings are approved for use in various military and commercial programs at GTRE, HAL, Ilyushin, Kazan,

 METRIC FLARELESS SEPARABLE FITTING

DESIGN CONCEPT:

The concept of Flareless provides positive sealing and a high degree of sealing reliability for repeated usage. The
configuration of Flareless joint consists an acorn shaped fitting nose designed to mate with a 24 degree cone fitting
end forming a sealing point.

A gage diameter is provided on the acorn Flareless nose near the sealing diameter for installation reference and
inspection purposes. The sealing point is located at the thicker wall area of both mating fitting ends to assure
proper sealing with no dimensional movement through repeated usage.

A pilot end was added to the front nose of the acorn Flareless that fits inside the undercut of the 24 degree mating
cone. This feature provides fitting alignment to effect positive sealing. In addition, a predetermined bottoming gap
distance between mating fitting ends at the pilot nose and the shoulder is for preventing damage on the acorn
Flareless nose by over torque on the nut.

Removal of the pilot end to make a shorter fitting is optional when fittings are used in tight areas or lighter weight
is required. Either option is in use successfully in the industry.

Shape fittings such as elbow, tee or cross are available in a “Lightweight” version. It saves on an average of
30 % lighter weight than the Standard version.
DESIGN ADVANTAGES:
Χ Sealing efficiency eliminates unnecessary down time and high repair cost.

Χ Assembly of Flareless connections can be made in place for production and repair applications.

Χ Design concept offers self-alignment to effect proper sealing. It offers bottoming feature to protect fitting
from damage caused by nut over torque.

Χ Fittings are available in Cres, Titanium Alloy and Aluminum Alloy materials which are virtually
compatible for use with just about any tube materials.

Χ No special tooling is required except standard torque wrenches for fitting installation.

 METRIC DUALΙSEAL SEPARABLE FITTING

DESIGN CONCEPT

DualΙSeal is a registered trademark of a Dynamic Beam Seal fitting offers unique double sealing. The design of
DualΙSeal fitting end has a circumferential beam with a wavy cross sectional profile. The elegant geometric of
the beam will uniformly deflect against the mating fitting end creating two circular points of sealing.

At the beginning of nut torque, the primary seal is formed at the lower tangent point of the seal beam.
Continuing to tighten the nut will form a secondary seal at the upper tangent point of the seal beam. The
secondary seal provides another function as a stop (bottoming) preventing nut over torque to damaging the
primary seal for repeated usage. The bottoming feature also provides stability of primary sealing at every
DualΙSeal joints under vibration or bending conditions which are all critical requirements for flight conditions.

High strength materials are used for DualΙSeal fittings to achieve spring action for sealing force. When the seal
beam is under deflection, the spring back force of the seal beam pushing on the mating fitting end creates a
locking device for thread engagement. Upon disassembly, the elastic beam will spring back and will be ready
for use again.

The contact surfaces (ie: mating fitting end and nut threads) are finished with dry film lubricant to assure ease of
multiple repeated assemblies. As an option, dry film lubricant on mating fitting end can be exchanged for a bare
metal surface with 8 micro smoothness for use in clean systems related to space programs.

DESIGN ADVANTAGES:

• A flush sealing face offers easy in place installation.

• Stronger material strength, smaller envelops and significantly lighter weight than Boss or Flareless
(including LT-WT Flareless) fittings.
• Sealing efficiency eliminates unnecessary down time and high repair cost.

• Seals at lower nut torque than Boss or Flareless fittings.

Χ Fittings are available in Cres and Titanium Alloy materials that are virtually compatible for use with just
about any high strength tube materials.

Χ No special tooling is required except standard torque wrenches for fitting installation.

 METRIC ORBITAL WELD PERMANENT FITTING

DESIGN CONCEPT:
Weld fitting design offers smallest envelope, lightest weight and strongest joint among all other mechanical fitting
joints. Navy test results showed an average welded joint has a durable fatigue life up to 150 % higher than
mechanically attached fitting joints. No wonder this concept is widely used in commercial and military programs
worldwide.

The weld fitting end design has the simplest geometrical contour with an integral T-ring. It provides alignment for
the fitting and tubing and is also a filler material for welding.

Fitting and tubing ends shall be cleaned prior to welding, one of the simplest cleaning methods is to spray acidtone
to the weld joint and it will quickly evaporates.

Weld fittings are easily to be welded by Orbital weld tooling with electronic memories to reproduce accurate
repeated weld each time. It minimizes X-ray inspection to a large degree. Different tooling is available for bench
production weld or portable welding. The unified welded joint provides a positive fluid sealing.

DESIGN ADVANTAGES:

Χ Unified weld joint offers positive sealing.

Χ Offers smallest envelope, lightest weight and strongest fitting joint.

Χ Electronic memories produce accurate repeated weld each time.

Χ Weld tooling requires lowest maintenance cost by replacing tunston only.

Χ Integral T-ring offers self-alignment for fitting and tubing butting to support proper welding.

 METRIC EXTERNALLY SWAGED PERMANENT FITTING

DESIGN CONCEPT

The Externally Swaged fitting was originally developed by McDonnell Douglas (prior to become
Boeing) who granted the manufacturing authority to Airdrome Precision Components. Another supplier
gave the same fitting a tradename Permaswage.

After the patent was expired in 1991, Airdrome Precision Components improved the fitting design
concept by lower the fitting yield strength slightly to increase significantly broader fitting application for
use on softer tubing materials and/or thinner tube wall. It has also enhanced swaging tool life.

The unique geometric of the fitting design has a body and tail connected by a thinner wall mid section. It
creates a flexible tail to absorb vibration and bending in flight conditions while static sealing takes place
in the body section.

Externally Swaged fittings were designed for permanently assembled onto tubing by crimping with
swaging tool. Each fitting offers 7.6 mm for tube insertion tolerance that minimizes pre-stress caused by
stack-up tolerances during hydraulic line installation. This advantage can also be utilized by installing an
union for repair of small tube defects less than 7.6 mm.

Fitting materials are available in Aluminum Alloy, Cres and Titanium for use with various tubing
materials. Each fitting tail I.D. is coated with Teflon for lubrication to enhance stress relief on fitting
joints under bending or vibration conditions. The Teflon finish is also colored differently for fitting
material identification and surface protection purposes. Green Teflon is coated on inside and outside of
Aluminum Alloy and inside of Cres fittings only, black Teflon is coated on inside and outside of
Titanium fittings.
Each fitting end has two internal grooves for baked on silicone seal. Double silicone seal is required on
Aluminum Alloy fittings for use on Aluminum Alloy tubing. Single silicone seal is sufficient on Cres and
Titanium fittings for use on Cres and Titanium Alloy tubing. It is however, recommended that optional
double silicone seal (to add suffix code Y in part number) should be used on all fittings.

DESIGN ADVANTAGES:

• Sealing efficiency eliminates unnecessary down time and high repair cost.

• Large tube insertion tolerance minimizes pre-stress within hydraulic systems.

• Ext-Swage fittings are easy to install either in production or field repair.

 MAKE FROM SOLID™ TECHNOLOGY

DESIGN CONCEPT:
Make From Solid™ (MFS™) technology offers an alternate solution to manufacture products from a
single piece of material thus eliminating the need for multiple fabrication steps required with weldments
& castings.

Airdrome Precision Components & AF Aerospace developed MFS™ “building block connectors” to
provide fluid conveyance design engineers with a cost effective capability to easily specify and apply
elbows, straight tees, and hi-flow tees to their designs. These components are used in conjunction with
custom and complex geometry MFS™ connectors as part of the overall fluid conveyance system design.
They simplify the design of the fluid tubing/piping system resulting in reduced design time, weight, and
cost. 1D bend radius components deliver size and space optimization without compromising product
integrity. Various material options and end fitting configurations also support design flexibility. The
fluid conveyance design engineer can easily follow the part number scheme described in this catalog to
specify the configuration of the elbow, straight tee, or hi-flow tee connector required.

MFS™ system applications include:

• Fuel
• Air ducting
• Environmental Control Systems (ECS)
• Nitrogen Generating Systems (NGS)
• Water
• Engines
• Hydraulic

DESIGN ADVANTAGES:

• Reduces weight
• Reduces or eliminates Welds
• Eliminates failures due to porosity
• Design optimization
• Reduces program development costs
 • Reduces development, modification, and production lead times
• Reduces product life-cycle costs
• Delivers a consistent and controlled process to ensure manufacturing repeatability, precision,
monitoring, documentation, and efficiency
