APPENDIX H
TORQUE LIMITS
H-1. SCOPE.
a.
This appendix lists standard torque values, as shown in Table , and provides general information for applying
torque.
b.
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.
Unless otherwise specified, standard torque t tolerance shall be 10%.
b.
c.
Torque values are based on clean, dry threads. Reduce torque by 10% when engine oil is used as a lubricant.
d.
Reduce toque by 20% when 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.
