1.2 A-325 TENSIONING PROCEDURE
Throughout the installation instructions set forth in this manual, there may be references to the A-325
hardware tensioning procedure. A-325 hardware must be properly tensioned to avoid slippage between
bolted surfaces under high loads. Slippage can cause the corresponding assembly to move or slip, resulting
in antenna misalignment. Use of A-325 hardware eliminates slippage between mating surfaces under high-
loading conditions as well as the need for future retightening.
NOTE: A-325 tensioning is for final connections only. Never loosen or reuse A-325 hardware.
Points to Keep in Mind:
•
“Snug tight” is defined as tightness when plies of joint are in firm contact.
•
Do not proceed with felt-tip marker or tightening unless connection is final and will not be loosened
again.
•
If after tensioning procedure the bolts are loose, discard them and replace with new hardware.
•
Do not use A-325 tensioning unless specifically called for by installation instructions.
