TIGHTENING TORQUES
GENERAL TIGHTENING TORQUES
This chart specifies tightening torques for
standard fasteners with a standard ISO
thread pitch. Tightening torque specifica-
tions for special components or assemblies
are provided for each chapter of this man-
ual. To avoid warpage, tighten multi-fas-
tener assemblies in a crisscross pattern and
progressive stages until the specified tight-
2
ening torque is reached. Unless otherwise
specified, tightening torque specifications
require clean, dry threads. Components
should be at room temperature.
