Hello everybody,

My question is how tight do you screw in the wireless transmitter on a First Stage? I have read "hand tight", "don't use a wrench just screw it in" any suggestions from the Pro's?

Thank you

Hand tight is fine... or you can give it a little tweak with a wrench if you so desire. Like a hose, there's no need to crank on it.

Screw in hand tight and then just gently "snug" it with a wrench of appropriate size.

Just as you would a H/P hose.

as said before hand tight because it isnt really the threads or the torque that holds it on... it will be the pressure.

Too tight and the o-ring is not doing its job. The o-ring is what provides the seal, not the threads so just gently snug it with a wrench.
