hi my name is adam i have stainless hard ling on my truck with brass fittings and it leaks like hell what is the best fittings to run on stainless hard line and not have any leaks?

  I used Parker fittings for my hardlines. Swagelok makes great fittings for stainless aswell. It all comes down to the ferrule fitting if you decide to not flare them yourself. Brass will never seal on hard stainless properly, too soft of metal.

I currently have a butt load of swagelok fittings just dont have any stainless hard line.  the swagelok fittings are very nice and dont loose thier finish.  If you run them you will need to pick up one of thier filler gauges fro proper fitment.

Swagelok is expensive, but parker fittings are almost exactly the same and a little cheaper. there is also DK-LOK fittings that are exacly the same design as the Swagelok but way cheaper. probably cause they arent made in the U.S.
