Torqued on the vent tube fitting and applied proseal

According to the torque setting instructions in the "5P ALUMINUM TUBING" section of the instruction manual, the torque setting for 1/4 inch tubing is 40-65 inch-pounds, and for 3/8 inch tubing it’s 75-125 inch-pounds. I set the final torque setting after checking a Torque Wrench Extension Calculator for recalculating torque setting when using an extension (in my case a crows foot extension).
