11.3 Hydraulic Fitting Torque
Tighten flare-type tube fittings:
1. Check the flare and flare seat for defects that might
cause leaks.
2. Align the tube with the fitting before tightening.
3. Hand-tighten the swivel nut until it is snug.
4. To prevent the tube from twisting, use two
wrenches. Place one wrench on the connector body
and tighten the swivel nut with the second wrench.
Torque the fitting to the correct specification.
If a torque wrench is not available, use the flats from
finger tight (FFFT) method.
