EE was installing air header onto existing HDPE pipe valve. EE tightened the vic between the valve and header. EE realized the header needed to be rotated so EE used the impact and started to loosen the bolt. EE inadvertently loosened the bolt on the charged side of the valve causing the header to break free from the vic.
