2.9.5 Assembly Instructions for 45° SAE 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.
3. Tighten fitting by hand until hand tight.
Torque fitting to value listed in below table while using the
Double Wrench Method outlined in this section.
Note: Torque values provided in below table are segregated
based on the material configuration of the connection.
‘Aluminum/brass fittings or aluminum/brass mating
components’ indicate either the following material
configurations:
a. Steel fittings with aluminum or brass mating
components
b. Aluminum or brass fittings with steel mating
components
c. Aluminum or brass fittings with aluminum or brass
mating components.
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.
