Use, Maintenance, and Care of the Devices
Connections
Final Connection Using a Torque Wrench
1.
Turn the connector nut. This may be possible to do by hand if one of the
connectors is fixed (as on a test port). In all situations, the use of an
open-end wrench to keep the body of the device from turning is
recommended.
2.
Position both wrenches within 90 degrees of each other before applying
force. Wrenches opposing each other (greater than 90 degrees apart) will
cause a lifting action that can misalign and stress the connections of the
device involved This is especially true when several devices are connected
together. See
.

Wrench Positions
Using a torque wrench guarantees that the connection is not too tight, preventing possible
connector damage. It also guarantees that all connections are equally tight.
