NOTE: Reduce torque values listed in the table above NOTE: The nominal torque values listed above are
by 25% for lubricated fasteners. Lubricated fasteners based on 75% of the minimum proof load specified in
are defined as threads coated with a lubricant such as SAE J1199. The tolerance is approximately + 10% of the
engine oil or thread sealant such as Loctite. nominal torque value.
NOTE: T
orque values may have to be reduced when
installing fasteners into threaded aluminum or brass.
The specific torque value should be determined based
on the fastener size, the aluminum or base material
