1. Check flare (A) and flare seat (B) for defects that might
cause leakage.
2. Align tube (C) with fitting (D) and thread nut (E) onto
fitting without lubrication until contact has been made
between the flared surfaces.
3. Torque the fitting nut (E) to the specified number of
flats from finger tight (FFFT) or to a given torque
value shown in Table
Fittings, page 11.
