Is the JIC 90Â° adjustable angle fitting with stainless steel BSPT socket, type WE-BT compatible with anaerobic sealants instead of Teflon tape for sealing the BSPT thread?

Yes. The JIC 90Â° adjustable angle fitting with stainless steel BSPT socket, type WE-BT is compatible with anaerobic sealants for sealing the BSPT thread. The product description specifies that the BSPT external thread can be sealed either with Teflon tape or an anaerobic sealant. Made of AISI 316 stainless steel, the fittingâs BSPT (tapered) thread is suitable for thread-locking/ sealing anaerobic compounds that cure in the absence of air and in the presence of metal, offering reliable thread sealing and resistance to vibration. Ensure you choose an anaerobic sealant rated for the fluid, temperature, and pressure conditions of your system and follow the sealant manufacturerâs surface preparation and curing guidelines for proper performance.

Can the JIC 90Â° adjustable angle fitting with stainless steel BSPT socket, type WE-BT tolerate repeated application of PTFE tape without thread damage?

Yes. The JIC 90Â° adjustable angle fitting with stainless steel BSPT socket, type WE-BT can tolerate repeated application of PTFE (Teflon) tape on its BSPT threads. The fittingâs sealing method is intended to be achieved on the tapered BSPT thread (as noted âseal on the thread â with Teflon tape or anaerobic sealantâ), and AISI 316 stainless steel construction provides good wear and corrosion resistance under normal assembly/disassembly cycles. To avoid thread damage and ensure reliable sealing: - Use proper-quality PTFE tape, wrap 2â3 turns in the thread direction. - Avoid over-torquing; follow recommended torque values. - Clean threads between applications to remove old sealant or debris. - Inspect threads for nicks or galling; replace fitting if damaged. Following these practices prevents thread damage and maintains sealing performance with repeated PTFE tape use.

Does the JIC 90Â° adjustable angle fitting with stainless steel BSPT socket, type WE-BT require a specific torque when sealed with Teflon tape or anaerobic sealant?

No, the JIC 90Â° adjustable angle fitting with stainless steel BSPT socket, type WE-BT does not require a specific torque value when sealed with Teflon tape or an anaerobic sealant, provided that the BSPT thread is sealed on the thread (as intended). For BSPT (tapered) threads the seal is achieved by the interference of the taper plus the chosen sealing method (PTFE tape or anaerobic compound). Recommended practice: - Tighten by hand until snug, then apply a final tightening of approximately 1â2 full turns with a wrench (typical for tapered BSPT fittings), or tighten until the fitting is fully engaged and leak-free without overâstress. - Use PTFE tape wrapped in the direction of threading (2â3 wraps) or a suitable anaerobic thread sealant compatible with stainless steel and the fluid/media. - Avoid excessive torque to prevent thread galling, distortion of the fitting, or damage to sealing surfaces. If installation torque data is required for critical applications, consult the system designer or perform a torque check on a representative assembly; manufacturers sometimes provide specific torque ranges based on size and material. - After initial assembly, check for leaks under pressure and retighten lightly if necessary.
