Rotary Fittings? Necessary?

[AMD Lover]

Are rotary compression fittings necessary on all of your fittings or just here and there. I know what they do I just don't know if they are necessary or not?

It helps a lot, although some of them are very expensive in comparison to normal plain-jane compressions.

 

I used like 5 rotary 90 degree compressions, it made my tubing runs easier, and shorter, I'd recommend it to anyone doing a loop, but they are nearly 2x as expensive sometimes

They are more convenient fittings, thats about it.

I know you have pretty much got your answer but just wanted to add that I think they are very necessary as a lot of the time without a rotary joint your fitting could be facing the wrong direction once it is tightened completely and if you back it off to face the right way you are risking leaks. Also sometimes in tight spaces you cannot rotate the complete fitting around to tighten but with a rotary joint you can just tighten it and not the whole fitting.

 

Definitely would recommend them as they give you just that much more flexibility and options to make your loop.
