Hi-MOD Installation

Installation starts with untwisting and prepping the wire strands, seating the cone fully into the fitting body, and positioning the Crown Ring before tightening the assembly hand-tight plus an additional half-turn, secured with Loctite thread locker. Hi-MOD fittings are designed to be fully reusable, so routine inspection and reassembly is possible as long as the cone hasn't become distorted or damaged from prior use. The guide also covers proper tool use and torque guidance to help ensure the fitting reaches its full rated strength on first assembly.
