UTION: DO NOT OVERTORQUE FITTINGS.
NOTE: When installing flared fittings, verify that male threads are properly lubricated. Use torque
fittings values in Chart 1.
The torque values given in Chart 2 are derived from oil-free cadmium-plated threads and are
recommended for all airframe installation procedures where torquing is required, unless otherwise noted
in sections where other values are stipulated. Engine torque values are found in the latest revision of
Lycoming SSP-1776, and propeller torque values are found in 61-10-00. Chart 1 lists the torque values
for flared fittings of various sizes and material.
A. Calibrate the torque wrench periodically to assure accuracy, and recheck frequently.
B. Unless otherwise specified, torque all nuts to the applicable torque in Chart 2. If the nut
(or bolt) is listed but not its mating fastener, use the lower torque in Chart 2 for the listed nut (or
bolt).
NO
TE: If normal operation requires movement between any of the components being clamped
together, tighten the nut (or bolt) enough to insure intended operation of the assembly.
C. Bolt and nut threads should be clean and dry unless otherwise specified. If the threads are to be
lubricated, reduce the recommended nut torque given in Chart 2 (plus the friction drag torque) by
50%.
D. For thread sizes 10 through 7/16, add the friction drag torque (in Chart 2) for all self-locking
fasteners. For non-self locking fasteners, assume the friction drag torque to be zero.
