5.4.5 Tightening torques for the thermometer
1) Turns from finger tight (T.F.F.T)
2) Only for versions with fabricated neck tube
Only ever screw in, or unscrew, the instrument via the spanner flats and to the
■
prescribed torque using an appropriate tool.
The correct torque depends on the dimensions of the connection thread and the sealing
■
used (form/material).
When screwing in or unscrewing the instrument, do not use the connection head as
■
contact surface.
When screwing in the instrument, please observe that the threads are not skewed.
