MSD SABER SERIES SHEARS
CODE 61 FLANGES
FLANGE TYPE HOSE FITTINGS
Check fl ange fi ttings for smooth, tight fi t of matching surfaces. If any cap screws are loose or matching sur-
faces are not tight, tighten the loose cap screw then tighten the diagonally opposite cap screw. Tighten the
two remaining cap screws then torque all four screws as specifi ed in the Torque Chart in this manual.
Tolerance is ± 10%. The torques given are enough for the given size connection with the recommended work-
ing pressure. Torques can be increased to the maximum shown for each screw size if desired.
DO NOT
use
these values if a different torque value or tightening procedure is listed for a specifi c application. Torque values
listed are for general use only. Check tightness of cap screws periodically.
Shear bolts are designed to fail under predetermined loads. Always replace shear bolts with identical grade. To
prevent them from failing when tightening, make sure fastener threads are clean and properly engaged.
TORQUE VALUES FOR FOUR-BOLT FLANGE FITTINGS
CODE 62 FLANGES
Use only metric tools on metric
hardware. Other tools may not fi t
properly. They may slip and cause
injury.
Do not use air wrenches. Tighten each
bolt equally in an alternating pattern.
Do not over tighten.
