Tighten a Sampling Valve/Tube

Please note the following guide should be used only when installing Checkfluid Products.

 

These Specifications are for carbon steel. With Zinc plating always lubricate threads and seals.
For stainless steel, use the high value of the torque range of steel.
For brass, use 70% of the torque value of steel.
For mixed metals, use the torque of the lower of the two metals
Torque range is normally calculated +/- 10%.
To convert from N-m to ft-lbs, multiply N-m by 0.7375.
