062 MINSTAC - Fitting Torque Limits and Tools

NOTE:
Excess torque will cause the ferrule to crush restricting the flow through the fitting.

Minimum recommended torque: 5 ozf•in (3,531 N-cm)
Maximum recommended torque: 10 ozf•in (7,062 N-cm)


Coupling Installation Tools

Torque Wrench
TTTA3201243A


Wrench
TTTA3200543C



Procedure:

1. Start threading the fitting assembly into the 062 MINSTAC fitting boss by hand.

2. Tighten the fitting between 5 to 10 ozf•in (0.035 to 0.07 N-m) by slipping the Lee Torque Wrench TTTA3201243A onto the knurled Coupling Screw. The minimum torque is achieved by pressing the shorter torque arm clockwise until it just contacts the longer arm. To check that maximum recommended torque is not exceeded, invert the Torque Wrench and press the longer torque arm clockwise until the Coupling Screw begins to move. This should occur before the torque arms make contact. After gaining a feel for the proper torque, use of the Torque Wrench may be discontinued.
