Received my Acecare 6.8L cylinder and valve assembly today.
Very nice looking tank and valve assembly.

The label on the cyclinder says to install the valve assembly to specific torgue.
I don't see where on the label or instructions(didn't even come with any even for the valve)what to torgue it to.
Those whom bought one which torque value did you torque it to?

Many thanks!

OK, gotcha. If the valve has the O-ring in place just screw it down tight, not gorilla grip tight, just firm, the O-ring will seal it. The fill assembly has an O-ring on the front sealing surface and should be just tight enough to compress that O-ring so finger-tight only. Don't forget to open the tank and close the bleed valves before filling. I hope that helps. There's not much you can get wrong.

You can go to Pyramid Airs website and download the 74' CF tanks manual. I have one and it discuses what to do if you ever have to transport the tank by airplane. It says: "7.9 The Valve Body (B) is only hand tightened into the Cylinder (I). To remove the valve, begin by orienting the valve away from your body, other people and any objects in the area."

Hope this helps.
