A threaded coupling for ensuring a complete connection between fluid conduits includes a body portion of a fluid conduit, an axially forward sealing surface, a thread, and an interference member. The interference member is disposed on the body portion and is engageable with a portion of another fluid conduit to apply a load on the interference member when the fluid conduits are threadably connected together. The interference member is configured to prevent a complete sealing engagement between the fluid conduits when the load on the interference member is less than a predefined amount, and is configured to allow the complete sealing engagement between the fluid conduits when the load on the interference member meets or exceeds the predetermined amount.

A hose connection system for connecting a hose to a gas turbine engine. The hose connection system may include a connection fitting and a connection tool. The connection fitting may include a first member to be attached to the gas turbine engine, a mating component to be attached to the hose, and a splined second member to be torqued onto the first member. The connection tool may include a drive wheel with a number of drive wheel splines such that the drive wheel splines torque the splined second member onto the first member.

Hose connection system

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.
