Use stainless steel bolts and nuts with the appropriate steel grade and
property class for the connection (recommended: A2-70 [designation
according to ISO 3506]).
Nuts with bonded coating can be used as an alternative to uncoated
stainless steel nuts.
The following connection type is recommended when a cable lug

Other washers can be used, provided they maintain the required

Use cable lugs suitable for M12 bolts.
•
If stainless steel bolts and nuts are used, lubricate the thread and
head contact surface of the bolt using recommended pastes, eg,
MOLYKOTE D paste.
If a coated nut (eg, with bonded molybdenum-disulfide [MoS
coating) is used, the connection does not have to be lubricated.
•
Tighten bolted connections with bolts of sizes M10 and greater with
the recommended nominal torque for the bolt size used.
