TORQUE LIMITS

F-1 . SCOPE.

a. This appendix lists standard torque values, as shown in Table F-1, and provides general information for

applying torque.

b. Special torque values and tightening sequences are indicated in the maintenance procedures for

applicable components.

F-2. GENERAL.

a. Always use the torque values listed in Table F-1 when the maintenance procedure does not give a specific

torque value.

b. Unless otherwise indicated, standard torque tolerance shall be ±10%.

c. Torque values listed are based on clean, dry threads. Reduce torque by 10% when engine oil is used as a

lubricant.

d. Reduce torque by 20% if new plated capscrews are used.

e. Capscrews threaded into aluminum may require reductions in torque of 30% or more of Grade 5

capscrews torque. Capscrew threaded into aluminum must also attain two capscrew diameters of thread

engagement.
