3.5 Tightening Torques
DG and P screws (Plastoform) are used in polymer and light-alloy components. These screws form a
permanent thread when they are installed for the first time. They can be removed and installed as often as
necessary without detrimentally affecting the strength of the screwed assembly, providing the specified
tightening torque is observed.
For this reason always use a torque wrench.
