TROUBLE SHOOTING MECHANICAL FITTING
CORRECTING LEAKS...
S
tep 1 - Gradually tighten fitting until
leak stops
Step 2 - If tightening does not stop after
reaching maximum torque of
35 lbs or 50 lbs (refer to
maximum torque for each size
listed below),
STOP and open assembly and check...
a. To see if they are properly
assembled. If not correct, go thru
assembly steps and test again for
leaks.
b. Check to see that no foreign material
is in assembly. If so, clean out and
re-assemble and test again for leaks.
c. Check to see that none of the
assembly pieces are cracked. If so,
replace, re-assemble and test again
for leaks.
d. Optional: use Pipe tape or Pipe Dope
on Threaded Ends.
TORQUING METHOD FOR FIELD ASSEMBLY
To achieve the proper Torque without a torque
wrench, first tighten the fitting adapter to the nut
until resistance to hand tightening is so that you
can no longer continue. Then, using a crescent
wrench, tighten to 1/4 to 1/2 turn.
CAUTION: DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN

ERMINATION OUTLET
When connecting to a termination outlet, slide the tube
with the nut thru the back side of the termination
bracket. Then slide assembly to nut from the bracket ...
see illustration below. Each termination, including a
valve or tube fitting shall be capped immediately after
installation and uncapped when the gas equipment is
connected. The termination outlet shall be securely
fastened in place during rough installation.
