Abstract
A fluid line termination fitting for a tail cone generator can include a distal body portion configured to insert into a fluid circuit opening of a tail cone generator housing and a proximal body portion configured to receive a male fluid connector. The fitting can include a radial extension disposed axially between the distal portion and the proximal portion. The radial extension can extend radially outwardly relative to the distal portion and proximal portion to limit insertion of the distal body portion into the opening of the tail cone generator housing. The fitting can include a channel structure defining a flow channel through the distal body portion and the proximal body portion. The channel structure can include a proximal channel portion in fluid communication with a proximal opening and a distal channel portion in fluid communication with a distal opening. The fitting can include a threaded section in the proximal channel portion and configured to thread to the male fluid connector and an angled sealing face distal of the threaded section and extending radially inward between the proximal channel portion and the distal channel portion. The angled sealing face can be configured to flushly mate with a complimentary angled surface on the male fluid connector.
