<<<snip>>> The coupling bolt on the pipe just turns and does not "bite" into the 4-way union threads. <<<snip>>> It's not striped! The the nut and perhaps the flare have spread due to too much tightening. You can try reducing the nuts shank by carefully squeezing it with a pair of smooth jaw pliers. If you belong to NAMGAR there was a tech article on it about 10 years ago. If you've got NAMGAR's book, I am pretty sure it's in there. Regards, Blake J. Urban |
