JIC (Joint Industry Council) fittings should be tightened to a point where they form a metal-to-metal seal without over-torquing, which could damage the fitting or cause leaks. Generally, hand-tighten the fitting, then use a wrench to further tighten it by approximately one to one and a half flats (hex sides) beyond hand-tight. Always refer to the manufacturer's specifications for precise torque values.
