A fuel fitting assembly includes a monolithic fuel fitting formed by additive manufacturing. The fitting includes a first end, a second end, a conduit extending axially through the fitting from the first end to the second end, and a first sealing element. The first end is to be connected to a fuel line. The second end is to be connected to a device requiring or providing fuel. The first sealing element includes a sealing seat circumferentially surrounding the conduit at the second end of the fitting. The fuel fitting is integrally formed as a stack of layers of material.
