In foreman's delay report it was noted that the t-fitting was robbed. Actually the t-fitting was swapped between the 2 aircraft to make one svcable while the other was at the gate for a slat actuator. Our current manual does not cover this type of procedure. A write-up was entered into the aircraft log for a leaking t-fitting discrepancy cleared.
