Fittings used on the transducer?

September 05, 2012 by Craig Peyton

Since the transducer body is aluminum, you must use steel fittings on the transducer and use not more than 15 ft lb = 180 in lbs., or two full turns past hand tight.

** Do not use teflon tape, or thread sealant compound of any kind. [ See #503 Fuel Flow Installation Manual – Heading #2 “Initial Check Out”  — line item #14.]

 Fittings:

• #4 AN816-4 Steel 1/4 NPT
• #6 AN816-6 Steel 1/4 NPT

• #8 AN816-7 Steel (JPI only has -7 1/4 NPT)

** Do Not Use Aluminum or Brass – only Steel ***
