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