Coat the flare inner surface with ether oil or ester oil when connecting a flare
nut. Tighten 3 or 4 turns by hand, before tightening firmly.
▪
ALWAYS use 2 wrenches together when loosening a flare nut.
▪
ALWAYS use a spanner and torque wrench together to tighten the flare nut when
connecting the piping. This to prevent nut cracking and leaks.
