Just for Chris' reference, there are two primary standards in the U.S.
for such fittings. JIC, which is a 37 deg. fitting (typically used on
hydraulic equipment and aircraft), and SAE, which is 45 deg (mostly
production automotive use). Mixing the two will not give the proper
interference fit to form a good seal, as Mark notes above.
