Observe specified tightening torque when tightening high-
pressure and low-pressure pipe connectors. Excessive tight-
ening can damage threads or damage connector O- ring.
●
The O-ring in low-pressure pipe connector is larger than that
in high-pressure connector. Take care to install the correct
O-ring.
Connector tightening torque:
