SAFETYING – MAINTENANCE PRACTICES
Installation of Safety Wiring
General
When you remove a component always remember the size and type of wire used and the
method of locking used for assembly.
There are two methods of safety wiring; the double-twist method (that is most commonly
used) and the single-wire method used on screws, bolts, and/or nuts in a closely spaced or
closed-geometrical pattern such as a triangle, square, rectangle, or circle.
The single-wire method may also be used on parts in electrical systems and in places that are
difficult to reach. (See figures below.)
