D Torque Table
The table below establishes the torque requirements for routine installation of
threaded fasteners. These requirements apply to fasteners made of steel, at a
minimum engagement of 3.5 threads, including chamfer and countersink. For
the most accurate torquing, apply anti-seize compound to fastener threads
before you torque the fastener.
Fastener sizes are listed as
Numbered Size - Threads Per Inch
. (For
example, 2-56 represents “No. 2 Screw, 56 Threads Per Inch.)
