Default ...dumb question:

OK tried hand tightening the 3/8 NPT adaptor - it goes hand tight after 2 and half turns before it need a wrench on it.....so, how far do i need to tighten with a wrench/socket...i dont want to strip the threads. 2.5 turns doesnt seem many turns before being hand-tight, when there are 6 complete threads/turns on the adaptor!
