What is inserted in the fitting and what does the end of the tool used on the 90 look like?

Cool my jets, it will probably be in the video....

Thanks,

When I am doing a straight fitting I screw a male adapter into the fitting to protect the female threads of the fitting. As you probably know it takes a tremendous amount of pressure to install these things. The 90 degree attachment is a flat plate with a "U" shaped cut out. All of the fittings I have seen have a collar on them to push against. The fitting I was doing in the video is a -8. When I do smaller 90 degree fittings I cut a notch in a heavy washer and insert it in front of the fork. It would probably be better to make a fork for each size. Sometimes I need three hands to hold everything in place. I usually put some tape on the fork to protect the fitting.
