You kind of have to feel it, too little torque and the inlet hose could move or slip off and too much and you can damage the seal. I'm not sure if there is a specified torque value but even if there is this is a case where using feel and experience might be more appropriate.

The trouble is that in many cases at 3 NM the hose can virtually fall off at a touch. I wouldn't take much comfort in a torque spec that low.
