37 Degree Flare and 30 Degree Cone Seat Connectors Service Recommendations
1.
Inspect flare and flare seat. They must be free of dirt or obvious defects.
2.
Defects in tube flare cannot be repaired. Overtightening a defective flared fitting will not stop leaks.
3.
Align tube with fitting before attempting to start nut.
4.
Lubricate male threads with clean oil. Refer to LO 5-3805-294-13
5.
Index angle fittings and tighten by hand.
6.
Tighten fitting or nut to torque value shown on torque table. Do not allow hoses to twist when tightening fittings.
