IMPORTANT: Kinking or twisting hoses during installation shortens hose life drastically. Be sure to follow proper procedure.

Tighten fitting or nut to torque value shown. Use one wrench to hold body and one to tighten nut.

In the case of a hose, it may be necessary to use three wrenches to prevent twist; one on body, one on nut, and one on hose fitting.
