Fig. 70 - 1 Safety wiring methods
Nuts, bolts, and screws are safety wired with the single wire or double twist method. The safety
wiring method is related to the installation.
- The double twist method is the most common method of safety wiring.
- The single wire method is used on small screws in a closely spaced pattern, on parts in
electrical systems, and in areas difficult to reach.
Refer to Fig. 70 - 1 for the safety wiring methods:
[1], [2], and [5] – the applicable method of safety wiring bolts, screws, square head
plugs, and similar parts when wired in pairs.
[3] – components wired in series.
