APPENDIX G (Contd)

Tubing Application Tightening Assembly Instructions (Contd).

1. Slide nut and sleeve on tubing. Threaded end

of nut (1) must face out.

2. Insert tubing into fitting. Ensure tubing is

bottomed on fitting shoulder.

3. Thread nut onto fitting body until it is hand

tight.

4. From that point, tighten with a wrench the

number of turns indicated at right.

Some tasks require the use of a torque wrench adapter when the nut or screw cannot be reached with

a regular socket on the end of the torque wrench. These adapters add to the overall length of the torque

wrench and make the dial or scale reading less than the actual torque applied to the nut or screw. To

prevent overtorquing and damage to equipment, calculate correct dial or scale reading using Conversion

Formula (para. G-5).
