TM 10-3930-659-20 2-25. 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 overhead 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-X 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, lockwire as illustrated. 2-26. FLUID DISPOSAL.
