ARIEL BOLTING

REQUIRED TIGHTENING TORQUE

CAUTION
Bolting has been selected that will meet the strength, elongation, locking features and mechanical clearance required.
The proper bolting must be used and tightened to the torque values listed. Threads are to be clean and free of burrs. Use
petroleum lubricating oil or Lubriplate 630 on threads and seating surfaces, except for compressor piston rod-piston nuts
& crosshead nuts; JGB/JGV main bearing cap stud-nuts; and JGS exhaust elbow to cylinder head cap screws use Never
Seez, and except where Loctite is specified. These torque values are for current production equipment, for older units
which have lower torque values specified do not assume higher values without consulting packager and/or Ariel.
