To aproximae 40 ftlbs. Just tighten until there's blood in your stool and you'll be close.
Oh are they finally including torque specs? If you don't have the torque wrench, wrap the threads with teflon tape, tighten to "really snug" and fill with water to ensure it doesn't leak. Keep your wrench handy, you can always tighten while brewing.

Definitely no teflon there. You'll want to make that connection tight. Hold that valve to ensure proper orientation and use a socket on the inside. You'll like this kettle. I have a couple of the older Boilermakers and they are quite nice. Good choice.
Also, the only torque wrench available at Lowe's today was the size of a baseball bat.
