Torque figures
Thread sealant is applied to the full circumference of the thread. The recommended tightening torque figures foritems with thread sealant are as following:
R1/8" thread - 6.86 - 8.82 tightening torque (Nm)
R1/4" thread - 11.76 - 13.72 tightening torque (Nm)
R3/8" thread - 21.56 - 23.52 tightening torque (Nm)
R1/2" thread - 27.44 - 29.40 tightening torque (Nm)
