Flare-Type Hydraulic Fittings - MacDon R1 Series Operator's Manual

7.1.3 Flare-Type Hydraulic Fittings

The standard torque values are provided for flare-type hydraulic fittings. If a procedure specifies a different torque value
for the same type and size of fitting found in this topic, refer to the value specified in the procedure instead.
1. Inspect flare (A) and flare seat (B) for defects that might
cause leakage.
2. Align tube (C) with fitting (D) and thread nut (E) onto the
fitting without lubrication until contact is made between
the flared surfaces.
3. Torque fitting nut (E) to the specified number of flats from
finger tight (FFFT) or to a given torque value in Table
page 334.
4. Secure fitting (D) with two wrenches. Place one wrench on
fitting body (D), and tighten nut (E) with the other wrench
to the torque value shown in Table
5. Verify the final condition of connection.
