rpyle Posted March 23 Report Posted March 23 Hi All, I have entered the world of TKS fitting leaks and would like to know if anyone would be willing to loan/rent a clench tool for the olive fittings.
jetdriven Posted March 24 Report Posted March 24 IIRC you can tighten the fitting over the tubing and it will crush it down
rpyle Posted March 25 Author Report Posted March 25 I purchased the tool from CAV, and I will certainly share it with the community after next week, when my A&P and I are done with it. 2

I purchased a "T" so I have three "shots" at clenching. I found the disposable method was cheaper as I had rare use for the tool. Basically you torque the fitting 270 degrees after contact and it is clenched. I got two shots left.
