(d).
Turn tubing nut slowly with wrench while turning tubing with other hand. When the sleeve grips the
tubing, that is when the tubing can no longer be turned by hand, stop turning nut and note position of
wrench. This is termed the ring grip point.
(e).
Then, tighten the nut an additional one turn past the ring grip point.
(f).
Unscrew nut and remove the tubing from the mating fitting, or presetting tool. Inspect the preset as
described in Figure 6-1.
(g).
When installing a preset tubing assembly, lubricate with clean oil.
CAUTION
At installation of tubing assemblies, do not overtighten tubing nuts.
(h).
Insert tubing assembly into fitting and tighten nut until a sharp rise in torque Is felt. Starting at position of
sharp torque rise, tighten the nut 1/4 additional turn to complete the assembly.
NOTE
At the point where the torque starts to rise, the sleeve and tubing are just touching the seat. An additional 1/4 turn
produces a seal with the fitting and restores the bow to the sleeve.
(3).
Replace damaged or defective fittings.
