  1. "Thread" the tubing through the compression screw and ferrule and ensure the tubing is fully bottomed in the fitting hole.
  2. Finger-tighten the screw until it doesn’t rotate any further and then make a mark on the screw.
  3. Add 3/4-turn using a wrench while checking the mark on the screw.
  4. Remove the screw and ferrule and check ferrule is secure.
  5. Re-install the screw and ferrule, finger-tighten and add 1/4 turn using a wrench.
