Torque Recommendations - 1/4 NPT Tank Plug: Tighten the fitting securely to engage the orange thread sealant.
NPT Fittings: Tighten the air fitting so as to make contact with the nylon ring and then tighten 1/4 turn to snug the fitting. No thread sealant is needed.
Pressure Sensor: The pressure sensor is sensitive to over-torque. Carefully install the pressure sensor into the valve block with 7.2 ft-lbs. (9.8 N-m) of torque.
