    Default Hub adapter to suppressor

    Please help educate me on attaching a plan b hub adapter to a suppressor.

    What is the recommended torque? I am seeing anything from 20 ft/lbs to 35 ft/lbs.
    Oddly I can't seem to find anything on the rearden site...may just be missing it.

    Do you apply anything to the threads or keep it dry?


    Thanks

    Most manufacturers spec between 20 and 35 lb/ft, but realistically I just crank that sucker in there as tight as I can with the little spanner wrenches. A very light coat of anti-seize won't hurt, especially since most adapters are stainless. Every combo of suppressor and hub will be different, though. You will need to experiment a bit to see what works best with yours. I have a few that simply will not stay tight, and I ended up installing them with rocksett... YMMV

    I hand tighten until I go “ungh”. Seem to be within specs……
