4. Thread the hose/tube swivel nut onto the fitting by
hand. While holding the hose/tube with a wrench, use a
torque wrench to tighten the swivel nut to the recom-
mended installation torque shown in F igure 9. This tight-
ening process will require the use of an offset wrench
(e.g. crowfoot wrench). Use of an offset wrench will af-
fect torque wrench calibration due to the effective length
change of the torque wrench. Tightening torque when
using a torque wrench with an offset wrench will be lower
than the listed installation torque (see Using a Torque
Wrench with an Offset Wrench in the Torque Specifica-
tions section of Chapter 2 -- Product Records and Main-
tenance).
5. If a torque wrench is not available or if space at the
swivel nut prevents use of a torque wrench, an alternate
method of assembly is the Flats From Wrench Resist-
ance (F.F.W.R.) method (Fig. 8).
A. Using a wrench, tighten the swivel nut onto the fit-
ting until light wrench resistance is reached (approxi-
mately 30 in--lb).
B. Mark the swivel n ut and fitting body. Hold the
hose/tube with a wrench to prevent it from turning.
C. Useasecondwrenchtotightenthenuttothecor-
rect Flats From Wrench Resistance ( F.F.W.R.). The
markings on the nut and fitting body will verify that the
connection has been properly tightened.
