ASSEMBLY
i)
REQUIRED BOLT TENSIONING FOR STRUCTURAL CONNECTIONS
(1)
A325 Bolts - Snug Tight Condition
(a)
The snug tight condition is defined as the tightness that exists when all plies in a joint are in
firm contact. This may be attained by a few impacts of an impact wrench or the full effort of a
man using an ordinary spud wrench. Carbis’ standard bolt installation is snug tight in a bearing
type connection. Different requirements will be specifically detailed on the drawings.
(b)
Any bolts less than 1/2” diameter, torque to 60 in.-lbs.
(2)
Stainless Hardware - Snug Tight Condition
(a)
The snug tight condition is defined as the tightness that exists when all plies in a joint are in
firm contact. This may be attained by the full effort of a man using an ordinary spud wrench.
Carbis’ standard bolt installation is snug tight in a bearing type connection. Different
requirements will be specifically detailed on the drawings.
(b)
Keep bolts and nuts free of grime and other contaminants that may get into threads. Lubricate
stainless steel bolts and nuts prior to tightening.
(c)
Any bolts less than 1/2” diameter, torque to 60 in.-lbs.
ii)
A qualified erector should perform the assembly and installation of the Carbis equipment in conformity
with industry standards and local building code requirements, and in accordance with the most recent
industry practices for safe rigging. The procedures outlined in this section describe safe and practical
sequences. Any deviation preferred by the erector/rigger must be in conformance with the above-
referenced standards, codes, and practices. See Final/Assembly Drawing for Carbis-supplied components
and hardware lists. Foundation anchor bolts to be supplied by customer.
