Default Torque on OP sending unit?

I just bought an oil pressure sending unit eariler today. I plan on installing it tomorrow afternoon. Does anyone know how many pounds of torque would be appropriate when screwing it in?

2001 4x4 ranger 3.0 both flex fuel and not is 15ft pds. check for leaks after you install it. I like using dielectric grease to keep moisture out at connector.

Default done!

Switched out the sending unit yesterday. No sweat!
Hardest part was just reaching it. It was nice getting in the truck this morning and seeing the gauge work properly.
