Brief Description:  Torque and wire wrap flop tubes.

Flop tubes need to be torqued and wire wrapped.

Here are some torque values I found for a couple of different fittings.

AN924 4D - 85 to105 in/lb
AN924 6D - 120 to 150 in/lb

AN818 4D - 50 to 65 in/lb
AN818 6D - 110 to 130 in/lb

I bought from Sears crow feet wrenches for my torque wrench.
These wrenches extend the torque wrench by 1" so the torque value needs to be adjusted.
I used Dan Checkoways site to calculate new torque values.

I used the wire wrap tool for the first time on the flop tubes. I used the thicker wire but I think I should have used the thinner wire. Oh well.
