Quick drain valve

[Tally]

My quick drain valve arrived today and it says torque to manufacturers specification , my question is how do I do that if you can't apply a torque wrench to it . Do I have to go by feel???. 14ft,lbs is not very much, your replies are most welcomed

Just don't go mad as the sump threads are very soft and strip easily .

[Tally]

I'll go by the mantra if it feels tight that's tight enough 

[Del]

tighten it until it strios and then back off half a turn - should be sound at that

Use a short spanner

[Mick_J]

Many years ago bike tool kits had short spanners to stop people overtightening nuts, until they put a bit of tubing on it to gain leverage

Practice getting a feel for it by hand tightening the stock sump plug or something else and seeing how close you get? 14 ft/lbs isn't that much. I'd call it "one grunt" tight or "mid spanner" tight.
