This step is where most problems have been observed in the field. In most cases, 

we have discovered that the technician uses a short (10-inch) crescent wrench, or 

worse, a set of 10-inch locking-channel pliers. In using these tools, it is highly 

unlikely that the technician could reach a torque value high enough to ensure a 

good connection on a consistent basis. The only way to consistently obtain a 

reliable connection is to use a torque wrench set to 35 ft-lbs (50 Nm). 

 

Note: We strongly recommend that you avoid using locking-channel pliers for 

this procedure and that you discourage others from doing so. Using these types 

of pliers tends to damage the aluminum connector and its plating, and often 

results in less than acceptable torque.
