Note: Apply sealant/lubricant to male pipe threads. The first two threads
should be left uncovered to avoid system contamination. Screw pipe fitting
into female pipe port to the finger tight position. Wrench tighten fitting to the
appropriate turns from finger tight (TFFT) shown in the table above, making
sure the tube end of an elbow or tee fitting is aligned to receive incoming tube
or hose fitting.
