In some examples, an apparatus comprises a surface (400a) and at least one flange (402, 404, 406, 408) extending from the surface (400a). The fitting (304) is operable to rotate from a first angular position (FIG. 3D) to a second angular position (FIG. 3E) based on contact between the at least one flange (404, 408) and a fastener and a torque applied to the fastener. In the first angular position (FIG. 3D), a gap (319a, 319b) separates the at least one flange (402, 406) from a barrier (306). In the second angular position (FIG. 3E), the at least one flange (402, 406) prevents rotation of the fastener based on contact between the barrier (306) and the at least one flange (402, 406). In some embodiments, the at least one flange (402, 404, 406, 408) comprises a plurality of flanges (402, 404, 406, 408).
