TM 10-3930-659-34 2-22.    LOCKWIRE (Con’t). c.    Three screws or bolts are the maximum number that may be lockwired in a series when they are spaced 4-6 in.  (10.2-15.2 cm) apart.  The maximum number of closely spaced multiple groups of screws or bolts to be lockwired is limited to the number of units that can be lockwired with a 24 in. (61 cm) length of wire. d.    Do  not  secure  screws,  bolts,  or  fittings  which  are  spaced  more  than  6  in.    (15.2  cm)  apart. Lockwire these fasteners to tie points 6 in.  (15.2 cm) or less away. e.    Lockwire parts so that tension will be on lockwire when parts tend to loosen.  Lockwire should be installed and twisted tight so that loop around head stays down and does not come up over head of screw or bolt.  This does not apply to castellated nuts when slot is close to top of nuts; wire is more secure when made to pass along the side of stud.  Ensure that lockwire is tight but not overstressed. f.    Make  pigtail  of  4-2  in.    (6.4-12.7  mm)  at  end  of  lockwire.    Bend  pigtail  down  so  it  will  not become a snag. g.    When  lockwiring  castellated  nuts,  tighten  castellated  nut  to  low  side  of  torque  range,  then continue tightening until slot lines up with hole. h.    In blind, tapped hole application of bolts, castellated nuts, or studs, lockwir e as illustrated.
