Anyone know the proper amount of torque for these?

Thanks, Nic

Just tighten as tight as you can with your hand you dont want to use tools they can damage the bulkhead or your tank.

As tight as you can with your hands. I would not go past that more then 1/4 turn.

LOL! Not even my car wheels go that tight.

The usual manufacturer recommendaion is hand tighten, then no more than a quarter turn.

if you still see a leak after hand tightening, don't be tempted to use a tool. the gasket may not be seated properly. hand tight should not leak.

Hand tighten till its tight enough, then just a tad more.

No, really. IMHO this is one of those things you cant put a number on.

It the bulkhead flange is on the water side, you really don't need to tighten it much at all, the water should push the bulkhead in and seat the gasket properly.
