Fitting to fitting

[tikker]

I have some pretty tight corners in my loop requiring a tiny piece of tube between two 90-degree fittings, having them pretty much flush. I was wondering, could I instead screw a male thread 90 into a female thread 90, i.e. this one into this one?

Technically it will probably work, but I'm worried it will leak given the lack of o-rings when doing this. Am I better off just using a tiny piece of tubing?

I would just use a small extension fitting. Maybe check out Singularity Computers fitting guide. The extension fittings from what I know have o-rings

Hmm, if only this thing was available in a shorter version. But if I change some fittings then a small extender will probably work, didn't know they made them as short as 7.5 mm.

for tiny bends i usually get something like this:

that way you have a solid way of reaching around pesky corners.

This is a straigt 90 to 90 connection and its radius is too large, so that one won't work for me here. I could see its use though. I'll try my luck with the 7.5 mm extender.
