11.2 Common Bolt Torque Values

Checking Bolt Torque

The tables shown give correct torque values for

various bolts and capscrews. Tighten all bolts to the

torque values specified in the table, unless indicated

otherwise. Check tightness of bolts periodically.

IMPORTANT! If replacing hardware, use

fasteners of the same grade.

IMPORTANT! Torque figures indicated in the

table are for non-greased or non-oiled threads.

Do not grease or oil threads unless indicated

otherwise. When using a thread locker, increase

torque values by 5%.

NOTE:

Bolt grades are identified by their

head markings.
