WARNING
When using the torque data in the chart, the following rules should be observed:
• Bolt manufacturer’s particular specications 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 specied 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 a󰀨ect the torque values listed above.
• Torque values for socket-head capscrews are the same as for Grade 8 capscrews.
• Do not use these values if a di󰀨erent torque value or tightening procedure is given for a specic application.
Torque values listed are for general use only. Check tightness of fasteners periodically.
• Sheer bolts are designed to fail under predetermined loads. Always replace shear bolts with identical grade.
• Fasteners should be replaced with the same or higher grade. If higher grade fasteners are used, these
should only be tightened to the strength of the original.
• Tighten plastic insert or crimped steel-type lock nuts to approximately 110 percent of the dry torque values
shown in the chart on page 8, applied to the nut, not to the bolt head. Tighten toothed or serrated-type lock
nuts to the full torque value.
NOTICE
*Lubricated means coated with a lubricant such as engine oil, or fasteners with phosphate
and oil coatings.“Dry” means plain or zinc plated without lubrication.Tighten lubricated
bolts to approximately 80% of dry bolts.
