F111N(w/Nipple): size 14mm - 1.25
or
F111( No Nipple): size 14mm - 1.25
The threads on the F106 are 14mm with a 1.50 pitch thread
The threads on the F111 are 14mm with a 1.25 pitch thread
If it started to go on and then stopped, I would assume the thread pitch is
the issue. The website listed the F106 for my van but I discovered it needs
the F111. I order them with the N added so it comes with a nipple that
accepts 3/8" id tubing.
