Bolt Size/Torque Requirements
Bolt sizes vary with meter size and ange rating. See Table 2.4 for bolt speci-
cations recommended in ASME B16.5-2003.
Torque requirement vary with meter size, threads, and tting/nut material. See
Table 2.2 for recommended torque values.

Notes: Completely dry nuts should be torqued to the high value given. When nuts are
lubricated, they should be torqued to the lower value given.
* The applicable torque is determined on the basis of the nut and related tting re-
gardless of the material that the tting passes through.
