APPENDIX E
TORQUE LIMITS
E-1.
SCOPE.
This appendix lists standard torque values, as shown in Table E-1, and provides general information for applying
torque. Special torque values and tightening sequences are indicated in the maintenance procedures for applicable
components.
E-2.
GENERAL.
a.
Always use the torque values listed in Table E-1 when the maintenance procedure does not give a specific
torque value.
b.
Unless otherwise indicated, standard torque tolerance shall be i 10%.
c.
Torque values listed are based on clean, drythreads. Reduce torque by 10% when engine oil is used as a
lubricant. Reduce torque by 20% if new plated capscrews are used.
d.
Capscrews threaded into aluminum may require reductions in torque of 30% or more of Grade 5 capscrews
torque. Capscrew threaded into aluminum must also attain two capscrew diameters of thread engagement.
