2.9.4 Assembly Instructions for 37° (JIC) Flare
Fittings
1. Inspect the flare for obvious visual squareness and
concentricity issues with the tube OD. Ensure that
surface is smooth, free of rust, weld and brazing splatter,
splits, dirt, foreign matter, or burrs. If necessary, replace
fitting or adapter.
2. Align tube to fitting and start threads by hand.
3. Torque assembly to value listed in below mentioned
table while using the Double Wrench Method.
Note: Torque values provided in below table are segregated
based on the material configuration of the connection.
a. 37° Flare (JIC) Thread - Steel
NOTICE
DO NOT force a misaligned or short hose/tube into
alignment. It puts undesirable strain onto the joint
eventually leading to leakage.
NOTICE
The torque method should NOT be used on lubricated or
oily fittings. No lubrication or sealant is required. The
lubrication would cause increased clamping force and
cause fitting damage.
