Do not buy, except in desperate flare sealing emergency

The Rectorseal recommended torques are WAY too high! In the 1/4" flare size, 11 ft-lbs (accurate, calibrated instrument) was enough to SMASH the Flaretite seal inside the flare joint, actually separating it into a top ring and a bottom ring. A mere 8 ft-lbs was enough to extrude the purple "loc-tite" coating down into the flow stream. Had I not removed it (due to my own testing and suspicions) this junk would have gotten into the refrigerant flow - and this system has no strainer. It sealed 297.0 psig without damage on the 1/4" line for 13 minutes at 5 lb-ft torque, but that seems insufficient torque to reliably seal r410A for years. I'm going back to straight flares, no Flaretite seals! Bad news and so sad, I had high hopes for this product. Rectorseal should do more testing and R&D to improve this product and/or its application. It has potential - but not like this!

Used on new install

I used these on a mini split heat pump install as insurance against leaks at the flare fittings.
