TM 9-2330-390-14&PAPPENDIX HTORQUE LIMITSH-1.SCOPE.This appendix lists standard torque values (see Table H-1) and engine torque values (see Table H-2), andprovides general information for applying torque. Special torque values and tightening sequences are indicated in themaintenance procedures for applicable components.H-2.GENERAL.a.Always use the torque values listed in Table H-1 or Table H-2 when the maintenance procedure does notgive a specific torque value.b.Unless otherwise indicated, standard torque tolerance shall be ± 10%.c.Torque values listed are based on clean, dry threads. Reduce torque by 10% when engine oil is used asa lubricant. Reduce torque by 20% if new plated capscrews are used.d.Capscrews threaded into aluminum may require reductions in torque of 30% or more of Grade 5capscrews torque. Capscrew threaded into aluminum must also attain two capscrew diameters of threadengagement.H-1
