A bulkhead fitting has a partially assembled configuration and a fully assembled configuration on a bulkhead. The bulkhead includes an interior surface that define a hole. The bulkhead fitting includes a fitting body having a head portion and a shank portion. The shank portion includes a threaded portion, a relief portion, and a locking portion. The locking portion includes a tapered locking surface and a cylindrical locking surface. The locking surfaces prevent rotation of the fitting body and retain the fitting body in the interior surface when the fitting is in its fully assembled position and during assembly.

A metal seal replaces an O-ring seal in a flat face seal fluid fitting to adapt the flat face seal fluid fitting to use, for example, in extreme temperature applications. The fitting includes first and second fitting members, a sleeve, a nut and the seal. The seal may be removably attached to one of the fitting members by a plurality of retainers that extend into an O-ring channel of the fitting and cooperate with an O-ring retainer wall.
