Default Torque Question

I was told I had to torque my new 2000 preasure sensors to 125 INCH pounds? How does that translate to someone who only has a FT pound wrench?

Thanks

divide by 12.

So it would be about 10 ft-lb. Be careful if that number is at the bottom of your torque wrench range.

You really need to use a torque wrench that reads in in/lbs to get an accurate reading.
