Default Oil Pressure Sender Torque

Hey guys, I'm replacing the oil pressure sender (behind the intake manifold) in an LS3 and wondering if anyone can confirm what I should torque the sender to. I've read a bunch of people say 15 ft-lbs and some say 26 ft-lbs. Can anyone please confirm the correct torque setting? Thanks!

Enough to seat the washer on ops.

I'd go with 150 inch pounds and call it a day.
