I've reviewed all the previous threads where this question seems to come up frequently, as well as 43.13 table 9.2 and just want to make sure I have a clear understanding of torquing my fuel and oil hoses.
9.2 is clear on the torque values for either aluminum or steel tubing, but am I to presume that I should be using the steel value for steel hose ends onto steel fittings as well? If so, then the values from 9.2 should be as follows;
-4 = 135 -150 in/lbs
-6 = 270-300 in/lbs
-8 = 450-500 in/lbs
Does that look right? Also, for cases where it's impossible to get a torque wrench on the nut, are people just going 2 flats past finger tight or what?
Thanks,
Terry
