HP has it right.. it is in the 45ft/lb range, it's been awhile since i have had to work on a tank.

As for valves with vent channels.. that's a major no-no. the propper method is to have an aproximate 1/16" (aprox) hole near the top of the threading through both sides of the valve body.

this safety feature DOES NOT interfere with anti-siphon or siphon setups in CO2 tanks if they have been propperly installed.

moreover, these safety holes are exactly why i would never use loctite. it is not needed and it increases, rather than decreases the chance of an accident.
