7-10. Flang Nut Wrench. Flang nut wrenches are
used to tighten nuts which secure tubing. The handle-
type nut wrench is shown in figure 7-15. When the
handle-type wrench shown in figure 7-15 is not
available, one may be fabricated by removing a section
of a box-end wrench allowing it to slip over the tubing.

In an emergency, an open-end wrench
may be used on brass or steel nuts, but
it is likely to round off corners and
distort the shape of an aluminum nut.

tight without over stressing it or allowing
it to become nicked, or otherwise
mutilated.
