Using the Torque Wrench
Table 3-1 provides information on the torque wrench required for the connector type of your
adapter.
Torque wrench procedure
Using the torque wrench guarantees that a connection is not too tight. This will help prevent
possible connector damage. It also guarantees that all connections are equally tight each time.
Do
not pre-tighten so much that there is no rotation of the nut with the torque wrench. Static
friction must not be present during torquing.
Rotate only the connector nut when you tighten the connector. In all situations, the use of an
open–end wrench to keep the body of the device from turning is recommended.
