Angled Fittings

So I'm kinda confused how the angled fittings work. So far I only have regular compression fittings. I was thinking about adding some 45 degree angle fittings to make tubing routing easy, but I'm not sure how you get them to be exactly where you want it to point. With a regular compression fitting you just screw it to the rad hand tight as tight as you can and attach tubing, easy. What about these angled fittings? When tightening them how do you get it to be as tight as possible and point exactly where you want it to?

There is a pivot in the center so you can tighten the threads all the way and then swivel the head to where you need it.

Depends. You have rotary and non rotary angled fittings. Non-rotary fittings are a hassle because they will remain pointed in the direction they were pointed in when you finished tightening them. Rotary angled fittings have a second or even third axle they can spin on even after being tightened. 

 

These are Bitspower dual rotary 45 degree compression fittings. 

 

The angled part and the ribbed part right before the G1/4 thread can spin independent from each other allowing you to change the direction after having completely tightened the G1/4 part.
