Logsitics: Assembly and Tightening of JIC and NPT fittings

[stephanielue8088]

The Objective of this task is to answer the question: "How do we go about proper assembly and tightening of both JIC and NPT fittings". You can put your stuff in this document.
Some things that should be addressed include:

• For each (JIC and NPT), what should be done prior to assembly? This might include cleaning debris, using lubricant, using teflon tape etc.
• For each (JIC and NPT), What is the process for tightening?
• Talk about torque requirements. You can put screenshots where you see best
