SAE FASTENER TORQUE CHART
Note: Use these torques, unless special torques are specified. Values are for UNC and UNF thread fasteners, plated or unplated as received from
supplier. Fasteners can be dry or lubricated with normal engine oil. Values do not apply if graphite, moly-disulphide or other extreme pressure
lubricant is used.

Because of the low ductility of these
fasteners, the torque range is to be
determined individually for each
application. As a general rule, the
torque ranges specified for grade
10.9 fasteners can be used
satisfactorily on 12.9 fasteners
*M14 is not a preferred size.
