I've searched the forum to see if I could find a thread on this but there doesn't seem to be one. Apologies if I'm just not searching with the correct terms but I think I've been fairly thorough.
I've just finished bending up the last of the pipes for the Elliot's brake system and they're all now installed. I'm going to go round and do a final check before marking each joint with Tipp-Ex so I know I don't need to fiddle with it any further.
How tight should brake unions be? I want them to seal but I'd also like to avoid over-tightening them so they're still serviceable in the future. Due to the nature of a brake union, traditional socket torque wrenches aren't of any use.
Is there a rule of thumb for how to tighten unions? How do you do yours?
