So this is the second job that I have orders the 3/4" EYS21 seals for and their crouse-hines and you can thread a 1 ft piece of pipe in the top and the bottom and it has like a 10 degree kick to it. Last job I think it was just one sent it back and every other one I got was fine. This project I just order 2 boxes and the first box I opened today everyone was like that. I can't wait to get into the second box and see if there are off too. Just wondering has anyone else experienced this at all. When I start threading them I just spin them on nice and easy when they start to thread I really doubt that they are cross threading because there is no resistance. But even if it is user error really 5 times in a row. Love to hear what anyone else has to say on the matter. Maybe I'm the dummy and don't know that after you thread them your supposed to put a kick on it. Thanks.

Lot of poor quality fittings from them over the past 20 years of so. Had a few where they weren't tapped.
