CORRECT TORQUE AND TIGHTENING PROCEDURE
The correct torque and tightening procedure for a Bolt (1) that passes through a Tube (2) is to
tighten the Nut (3) or Bolt (1) only to the point that all the Items (4), between the Nut (3) or
Fitting (5) and the Bolt Head (1), come into contact with one another and then continue tightening
ONE FULL turn.
“Grade Bolts” are typically torqued to 20 INCH POUNDS…..NOT FOOT POUNDS
