- Special care needs to be taken when refitting the 5/16”-9/16” adapter into the synthetic
dual outlet body. Use a 5 mm
torque wrench
to nip up the 5/16”-9/16” adapter into the
dual outlet body. Use a torque setting of only
4
Newton-Meter.
-
ATTENTION
: Make sure you DO use a torque wrench and do NOT use a higher torque.
Even though the 5/16” female connection of the dual outlet body is fitted with a metal
insert, using too high a torque force could cause this metal insert to come undone from
the black synthetic part it is moulded into.
- If you do not have a low-value torque wrench, alternatively you can use a right-angled
5mm Allen key:
o
Screw the adapter in until you feel that it just goes tight against the body and
then nip it up gently about another
1/16th-1/8th of a turn. No more than that.
o
Do not use excessive force as over-tightening may damage the threads.
o
It is recommended that you use a right-angled Allen key rather than a T-piece
version, so that the maximum leverage you can apply is limited.
-
Once the metal insert is damaged, it becomes unusable and dangerous in operational
use. In that case the complete dual outlet body HAS to be discarded and replaced.
