O-Ring Boss Torque Specs?

[ttkeeler]

Anyone got the torque specs for a SAE #8 Male O-Ring Boss fitting?

I have no specs, but they do not need to be super tight since the O-ring does the sealing.

The second link has the info you need. Torque specs are on page 29. The first link is something to print out and keep around.

Thanks Andy, I really appreciate the information. I want to make sure I get the O-Ring Boss fittings tight enough to not leak w/o wrecking the O-Rings.

You're quite welcome. It is good that you want the proper torque, but I wouldn't get too hung up on it. I don't know of any mechanic that follows the proper torque procedures for hydraulic fittings. But then, years of experience does help too.

Not much experience here with hydraulic fittings but a lot of years with other parts and pieces. I just didn't want to overtorque something with foot pounds when it should have been inch pounds.
