- Chapter 9: Fluid Lines & Fittings › Beading › Fluid Line Identification
Fluid Line Identification Fluid lines in aircraft are often identified by markers made up of color codes, words, and geometric symbols. These markers identify each line’s function, content, and primary hazard. Figure 9-16 illustrates the various color codes ... symbols used to designate the type of system and its contents. Fluid lines are marked, in most instances, with 1" tape or decals. [Figure 9-17A] On lines 4" in diameter (or larger), lines in oily environment, hot lines…

Figure 14-35. A braided stainless steel exterior fuel line with fittings. As mentioned, aircraft fuel line fittings are usually either AN or MS fittings. Both flared and flareless fittings are used. Problems with leaks at fittings can occur. Technicians ... cautioned to not overtighten a leaky fitting. If the proper torque does not stop a leak, depressurize the line, disconnect the fitting and visually inspect it for a cause. The fitting or line should be replaced if needed. Replace…
