Flare-Type Hydraulic Fittings
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
6.10 Flare-Type Hydraulic Tube
Fittings, page 121 .
4. To prevent the fitting (D) from rotating, use two
wrenches. Place one wrench on the fitting body (D),
and tighten the nut (E) with the other wrench to the
torque shown.
5. Assess the final condition of the connection.
