torque 2

[sensiblesteve]

I have 2" npt plug in a half coupling.
Does anyone have a reccommened torque or a reference to where I can find one.
Max. internal pressure is 6 psig.

If you are using S/Steel to S/Steel be very careful that you do not seize the plug as this can be a problem at this diameter. I do not have a Torque figure but ensure to use a sealant (paste not PTFE tape) and as this is low pressure just nip it up a little more than Hand tight with a spanner.

For this pressure hand tight + 1/4 turn should be sufficient.
