1. Check flare (A) and flare seat (B) for defects that might
cause leakage.
2. Align tube (C) with fitting (D) and thread nut (E) onto
fitting without lubrication until contact has been made
between the flared surfaces.
3. Torque the fitting nut (E) to the specified number
of FFFT or to a given torque value shown in the
following table.
4. To prevent the fitting (D) from rotating, use two
wrenches. Place one wrench on the fitting body (D)
and tighten the nut (E) with the other wrench to the
torque shown.
