I just saw a post from a tech in which he said that although the manufacturers state recommended torques when assembling regulators, techs don't use torque wrenches when they are working. He was very clear regarding the general disregard for torqueing specs. He even stated that in his training class, the instructor told the students that no one uses torque wrenches in the real world.
Is this true? It's scary to me that manufacturer's specs would be widely ignored. Should I be concerned? Should I question my LDS about whether their techs bother using torque wrenches?
