Maintenance
When using the torque data in the chart, the following rules should be observed:
• Bolt manufacturer’s particular specifications should be consulted when provided.
• Flat washers of equal strength must be used.
• All torque measurements are given in foot-pounds. To convert to inch-pounds, multiply
by 12.
• Torque values specified are for bolts with residual oils or no special lubricants applied. If
special lubricants of high stress ability, such as Never-Seez compound graphite and oil,
molybdenum disulphite, colloidal copper or white lead are applied, multiply the torque
values in the charts by the factor .90. The use of Loctite does not affect the torque
values listed above.
• Torque values for socket-head capscrews are the same as for Grade 8 capscrews.
