 |

What are the pros and cons of Bakerseal vs. EZTurn for installing all
of the AN Blue fittings? I've got some of both and am about to do
the fittings for the fuel filter and fuel pump. They definitely have
different consistences - Bakerseal is kind of caulky and thick, and
EZTurn is kind of smooth and sticky like tooth paste. Van's says,
"either one". What's the common feeling on these products?
I assume that you just gunk some nicely on the end of the fitting and
then screw it tightly into the other part and wipe up the excess?
What about the flared fittings? Do you put it on the inside of the
flare too, or just the threads for the nut?
Thanks for the help!

I use bakerseal and only on pipe threads. If you get a leak from a flared
fitting I would recomend the seals that AC Spruce sells. Don VS

Matt. I use the same ProSeal used to assemble the RV fuel tanks on pipe fittings for hydraulics, fuel and oil. I use Ez-Turn on O-ring fuel pump fittings and the 37 degree flare and have had very few problems with leaks even on 1500 psi hydraulics in the Lancair IV.

Matt,
I have used both EZ-Turn and Fuel Lube on AN fittings. The fuel lines appear to be leak free, not true for the brake lines. I will now try Loctite 567 on the brake fittings. Report to follow!!

Bakerseal is very messy from what I recall. I had a tiny tin of ez turn and have had it for 10 years now and its still not gone..great stuff and goes a long, long way.

I used EZ Turn, not so much to form a seal but to make connecting aluminum AN fittings easier. Makes their removal much easier.
Shouldn’t the flare fitting seal the line? I like the idea of EZ Turn due to the fact you can apply the correct torque without fear of galling the aluminum fittings.
