TORQUE VALUES
D-1. Scope. SAE capscrews are graded according to the strength of the capscrew. They are marked on the
head so the correct strength and torque value are known. The tables in this appendix will list the capscrew
markings with correct torque values as well as values for pipe plugs and metric bolts.
CAUTION
When replacing capscrews, always use a capscrew of the same
measurement and strength as the capscrew being replaced. Using
incorrect capscrews can result in equipment damage. Bolts threaded
into aluminum require much less torque.
NOTE
Always use torque values listed in the tables when specific torque
values are unknown. The torque values listed in the tables are based
on the use of lubricated threads.
