Hydraulic Hose
The tightening torques for union joints and union adaptors with parallel pipe threads (G, PF) are
shown in the table below.
A union joint or adaptor will not become loose or leak as long as it is tightened by the specified
torque.
If fluid leaks from the sealed portion, do not attempt to tighten the union joint or adaptor forcibly.
Examine whether any foreign matter or scratches are present on the seat surface.
Tightening a union joint or adaptor forcibly could damage the connection of the joints.
When tightening a union joint or adaptor, use a torque wrench where possible and firmly tighten it by
an appropriate torque.
