Default Another New Part NX is offering to our customers.

The "Wingman" fits -4,-6,-8 an hose fittings. made from a composite material I could not break these during a stress test. Ok venting my stress on to this part! I was tring to over tighten it to the point of breaking. The Wingman won the battle, but I still have a large wrench , I am going to try to see what gives up first. The fitting, the bunt that screws onto the fitting or the Wingman itself.
So far the I was able to tighten the Wingman to the point of contouring the (flat) flare angle on the straight fitting i was using during tests.
retial is 14.00 but yall can pick them up for under 10.00.

No productline breadkage issues that I know of or have heard of. I beleive in testing a part past its norm, or ability. I want to know if it can break and how. In the event down the road a problem pops up, " I did not even get it tight it just broke" I have the knowledge to help.
And I like breaking things to On to the -6 and -8 parts. Now wheres that wrench.?

We did this same type of test on the, DF5, MAF's, Plates, stand bottle valve, Lightning solenoids. We want to know where the part breaks.
Did you know the DF5 failded a hydo test at 9650lbs of pressure. Now I say failed but that is 3 times the burst disc, and 2 times the bottles explosion point. Just testing.
Noids, screwed the fitting all the way in with out pulling the threads, that one was fun, lots of scretching going on from the fitting yet all is well.

Wow, I would like two of them, however, i was wondering if you could put ND on it rather than NX?

Pills (jet fittings)? WTF? Those are a waste of time and money

Ricky, nice looking piece. If our track was going to remain open I'd get one or two, but with the pending closing, no real need....well then again, might get a couple anyway. I can throw them in during install's I do, kind of like a T Shirt, but much better!

Robert, you funnyfucker!

Right but what I am saying is ok you tighten one end, then go tighten the other end, now how do you get it off the line? There are no open ends left.
