Accessories and Fittings Links: Racor fittings are available in various materials, styles and sizes to fit every Racor filter/separator and most installation requirements. Racor fittings are made of either brass (CA360 or CA345), plated steel (C12L14 with zinc di-chromate), or aluminum (anodized). When the part number is listed using the part numbering system, the second digit indicates the material, such as 91X= steel, 93X= stainless steel, 95X= brass and 97X= aluminum. Racor products feature several porting styles to external plumbing. However the most common are SAE J1926 Straight Thread O-ring and SAE J476 National Pipe Thread. See the chart below for fitting torque values. The design of SAE J1926 Straight Thread O-ring utilizes straight threads for holding power and an O-ring for superior sealing capability. Straight thread ports permit exact positioning of elbow fittings, provide a leak free joint, eliminate distortion and cracking of boss due to over tightening and are easier to maintain. The standard Parker O-ring material is compound No.N552-90, 90 durometer Buna-Nitrile (NBR). Apply a light coating of clean fuel or Parker Super O-lube to the O-ring prior to installation. Many Racor fuel ports feature the SAE J476 National Pipe Tapered for Fuels (NPTF -also known as Dryseal Pipe Thread) design for best sealing efficiency in smaller sizes of filters. The crests of the threads flatten upon tightening and allow the flanks to make contact thus sealing the joint. Use of a thread sealant, such as Parker's Unipar, is recommended to ensure a leak-proof seal. To avoid system contamination, do not apply sealant onto the first few threads.
