Default FAO - people who use TORQUES aeroquip style fittings

I have used many aeroquip fittings in the past but have only just assembled some torque teflon hose and fittings,

Now with aeroquip you tighten the two half of the fittings until there is a gap of approx 0.7mm, but with these TORQUES fittings I can only tightest until there is a gap of approx 2.5mm which is massive in comparison but it is so tight try to go further that the alloy aeroquip spanner is flexing! And I fear the fitting itself will crack which I am sure WILL happen if I go further


Anyone else used these, if so what kind of gap did you have when assembled,?

Have emailed Alex of Torques to ask but thought I would ask here as well

Thanks
Marc
