3.3 Tightening Torques
DG and P (Plastoform) screws are used in polymer and lightmetal components. These screws form a
permanent thread when they are installed for the first time. They can be removed and installed as often as
necessary without impairing the strength of the screwed assembly, providing the specified tightening torque is
observed.
For this reason it is essential to use a torque wrench.
