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 the
fitting without lubrication until contact is made between
the flared surfaces.
3.
Torque fitting nut (E) to the specified number of flats from
finger tight (FFFT) or to a given torque value in Table
4.
Use two wrenches to prevent fitting (D) from rotating. Place
one wrench on fitting body (D), and tighten nut (E) with the
other wrench to the torque value shown.
5.
Assess the final condition of connection.
