SAE BOSS Torque Specifications

 

Adjustable Straight Thread

These Fittings include Elbows or Tees, which can be oriented toward a mating member, such as tubing, before tightening.

Unlike non-adjustable O-ring Boss connectors, the adjustable SAE O-ring Boss connector utilizes a back-up washer which forces the O-ring into the cavity as the lock nut in tightened. Check out this torque specification guide for more info.
