Yeah, angle and hardness of material, as well as how strong any cast parts are. I think harness and angle were my problem on one fitting, it dug a line in the angled dealing surface and wouldn't seal. Replaced with aero quip.

Believe it or not, the anodize finish plays a factor in how hard the material is. Ideally you want a Type III finish (hardcoat) which would provide the most thickness and best wear resistance.
Imagine if you take the fitting on and off 10 times the finish is what will wear down create gaps and leak. I do see what you're saying. If for some reason the sealing surface isn't exactly 37* or is slightly out of round, whatever, it will also leak. |

Aeroquip has an FAA-approved quality system to make these parts for aircraft. The ones for aircraft use ("AN" stamped on them) will be made in USA. Aircraft Spruce is a good source if you want to be sure you're getting the highest quality parts. Some of the prices are comparable. Others . . . .
