Leaking

[big_sexy01]

My gun is leaking where the macroline fitting and unimount join, i tried screwing it tighter but it wont go any tighter. wats the problem????

[thatdude]

you mean its coming out of the threading of the unimount and the silver elbow? i had that problem too, simply just wrap the threading of the silver elbow (whatever its called) with teflon tape and screw it back in... works like a charm

[thatdude]

oh lol... its called the fitting, whoops. learn something everyday i guess

[dynastySSS]

is the macro cut funny? is there teflon arond the 90???

[big_sexy01]

there is loctite on the treading of the microline fitting, so i dont no and it still leaks through there, so i dont no wats wrong?

It could be leaking from the threads or it could be leaking from where the microline goes in.

Remove the fitting (hope it's blue loctite and not red!), put on some thread tape and replace. This fixes most things. You don't need loctite on fittings! Thread tape will seal it off and make it harder to come out on it's own.

Check your microline for straightness into the fitting. If it is crooked going in due to the position of your asa or fittings then this could cause leaking. These are just push in fittings and if your lines are bent further than the "flexible" fitting will allow then you could have leaks.

Check your microline for straightness of the cut end. If it is cut crooked then it could leak.

Good luck!
