PNEG-750-G2 16" Series II Sweep 131' and 135' Diameter 19
Torque Values to be used when Tightening the Bolts on the Series II Sweep
It takes more force to tighten a 3/4"-10 bolt than to tighten a 1/2"-13 bolt because of its larger diameter.
It also takes more force to tighten a grade 8 bolt than it does to tighten a grade 5 bolt because of the
greater material strength. A bolt that is waxed or otherwise lubricated requires much less force to tighten.
If the same amount of force is used with a lubricated bolt as with a non-lubricated bolt, the lubricated bolt
often will break.
A suggested initial tightening torque is listed in the Chart below.
