Notes:
1. The torque values above are general guidelines. Always use the torque values specified in the service manuals and/or assembly drawings
when they differ from the above torque values.
2. The torque values above are based on new plated threads. Inc rease torque values by 15% if non-plated threads are used.
3. Hardware threaded into aluminum must have either two diameters of thread engagement or a 30% or more reduction in the torque to
prevent stripped threads.
4. Torque values are calculated as equivalent stress loading on American hardware with an approximate preload of 90% of the yield strength
and a friction coefficient of 0.125.
