connectors (cont.)
Overview
Torquing multi- 1. If starting from a fully disassembled state, order the

moveable portions toward the inward (stationary)
portions. Disassemble from the inside outward.
2. If starting from a partially disassembled state, such as
with a protective coupler, leave subassemblies intact.
3. Maximize protection and minimize disturbance for the
connection that is intended to be preserved by the
protective coupler.

Final 1. Use a torque wrench to make the final connection. See
connection
Table 5 on page 42 for torque wrench information.
2. Rotate only the connector nut that you are tightening. If
necessary, use an open-end wrench to keep the body of
the device from turning.
3. Position both wrenches within 90 degrees of each other
before applying force. Refer to the illustration at right.
4. Hold the torque wrench lightly at the end of the handle.
5. Apply downward force perpendicular to wrench handle;
this applies torque to connection through the wrench.
6. Tighten the connection just to the point that the wrench
breaks over. Do not overtighten the connection.
