TORQUE VALUES FOR THREADED FASTENERS

0176 00

SCOPE

This WP lists standard torque values (Table 1) and provides general information for applying torque.

Special torque values and tightening sequences are included in the maintenance procedures for

applicable components.

GENERAL

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

torque value.

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

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

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

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

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

engagement.

CAUTION

If replacement capscrews are of a higher grade than originally

supplied, use torque specifications for the original. This will

prevent equipment damage due to overtorquing.
