TORQUE LIMITS

D-1. GENERAL

This appendix provides general torque limits for fasteners. Special torque values are indicated in the maintenance

procedures for applicable components. The general torque values given in this appendix shall be used when specific

torque values are not indicated in the maintenance procedures.

D-2. TORQUE LIMITS

Torque limits are listed in table D-1 for dry fasteners and in table D-2 for wet fasteners. Dry fasteners are defined as

fasteners on which no lubricants are applied to the threads; wet fasteners are defined as fasteners on which special

graphited or moly-disulphide greases or other extreme pressure lubricants are applied to the threads. Table D-3 lists
