AN Bolt Torques

Post by Gary Carr »

Hi All,
I thought i would put this up if anyone wanted to print this off...you may find this handy!

FAA Advisory Circular 43.13
AN3 bolts 20 to 25 inch-pounds
AN4 bolts 50 to 70 inch-pounds
AN5 bolts 100 to140 inch-pounds
AN6 bolts 160 to 190 inch-pounds
AN8 bolts 480 to 690 inch-pounds

On 1/4" dia. grade 8 bolts, use same value as AN4 bolts.
