APPENDIX G
TORQUE LIMITS
G-1.
SCOPE.
This appendix lists standard torque values, as shown in Table G-1, and provides general information for applying
torque. Special torque values and tightening sequences are indicated in the maintenance procedures for applicable
components.
G-2.
GENERAL.
a. Always use the torque values listed in Table G-1 when the maintenance procedure does not give a specific torque
value.
b. Unless otherwise indicated, standard torque tolerance shall be + 10%.
c. Torque values listed are based on clean, dry threads. Reduce torque by 10% when engine oil is used as a
lubricant. Reduce torque by 20% if new plated capscrews are used.
d. Capscrews threaded into aluminum may require reductions in torque of 30% or more of Grade 5 capscrews
torque. Capscrew threaded into aluminum must also attain two capscrew diameters of thread engagement.
