Abstract

A fitting assembly includes an indicator assembly that provides a visual indication of torque value to verify when the desired operational torque value is achieved. The fitting assembly includes a nut, and a visual indicator assembly positioned on the nut which has a plurality of visual indicators that provide a visual indication of a torque level being applied. A sleeve is attached to the nut and includes a window through which a portion of the visual indicators is visible based on the torque level being applied. A resilient member couples the sleeve to the nut. As the nut is rotated to apply torque to the nut, the resilient member biases the sleeve in a fixed position and the nut rotates relative to the sleeve, whereby the visual indicator assembly rotates relative to the sleeve to alter which portion of the visual indicator assembly is visible through the window to provide a visual indication of when the operational torque level is being applied. The fitting assembly includes a positive locking feature that interacts with a serrated portion of a nipple fluid connection to positively lock a position of the nut to prevent nut loosening.
