Torque Table

 

This is a table of average torque values for different grades of bolts.  Please note that differences between manufacturer's can result in actual proper torque value for a certain bolt size to vary as much as 30% from the table value.  So consider this to be a generic guideline.  If you know the manufacturer of a bolt check their web site for their recommended value.

Bolt Assembly Torque (ft-lb)      
The torque values in the table are based on the use of lubricated threads.
