The tapped hole or nut must have an equal or greater proof load than the stud's minimum ultimate tensile strength. K= friction coefficient.
PTFE coatings, lubrication, and assembly factors can alter these values. Values in this chart are advisory only, all applications vary.
F1554 does not specify tightening torques. Generally the full effort of an ironworker with a ordinary spud wrench is sufficient to tighten the nuts on anchor bolts.
Consult the design engineer to determine the proper tightening torque or if pretensioning is required for your application.

When galvanizing high strength studs such as B7 & F1554-105, caution should be used as there is a risk of hydrogen embrittlement.
Consult the design engineer and the galvanizer for your application.
Color codes for painting the ends of F1554 Graded rods: Grade 36 = Blue, Grade 55 = Yellow, Grade 105 = Red.
