You torque the bottom nut to
9-16 inch pounds, then 120 inch pounds (10 ft lbs) on the top nut, and then retorque the bottoms to 10 ft pounds.
Honestly....I make mine snug, wiggling the pipes as I get them in place, then tighten them a tad more to seat the pipe into the gaskets/doughnuts.
I lost a nut once. It always seems to be the bottom one.
